What happens during the process of cementation?
it pounds together all the dirt so over a period of time it becomes sedimentary rock
Where do minerals from cementation of igneous rocks come from?
during cementation, water deposits minerals that bind sediment particles together, which earth spheres are involved in this process?
What process happens when minerals are precipitated out of water and holds particles of rocks together?
That process is called cementation.
During lithification what two processes occur?
Lithification involves the compaction and cementation of sediment into rock.
The process by which dissolved minerals crystallize and glue particles of sediment together into one mass?
The particles in the sediments are cemented as pressure squeezes out water. The dissolved minerals in the water, usually silica or calcite, then become solid (crystallize), tying the particles together.

What happens when rocks weathered?
When sedimentary rocks are weathered and eroded, they turn into sediments. And after compaction and cementation of the sediments, it will turn back into sedimentary rock.
Is course sandstone impermeable?
That depends on how well cemented the sandstone is. If the cementation is very poor then the permeability rate is good to excellent. If the cementation is very good, then the permeability rate is poor. Cementation fills in the pore spaces between the grains. The cementation may be calcium or silica.
How sedimentary rocks form from sediments?
sediment gathers up then the water in the sediment starts to evaporate. Compaction and Cementation happens then forms layer after layer.
