There are two types of production of cement process,
1. Dry process
2. Wet process
It is the process of lithification.
Lithification
cementation
The process of sediments being compacted and cemented to form sedimentary rocks is called lithification.
In order to become a sedimentary rock a rock must be broken down or eroded by weathering. The sediments of the rock then go through the lithification process where they are cemented and compacted together forming a sedimentary rock.
Detrital sedimentary rock. clastic sedimentary A+
Loose sediments can become a sedimentary rock through the process of lithification. These sediments are compacted due to intense pressure and then undergo cementation to form sedimentary rocks.
well lithification means the process in which sediments compact under pressure and also the rock particles are compacted together to for sedimentary rock.

Erosion breaks down a metamorphic rock then the particles get deposited and get cemented or compacted together forming a sedimentary rock.
Yes, sedimentary rocks are being formed right now. Sediment is continually being deposited by erosion and transported by wind, water, and ice. Over time, these sediments are compacted and cemented together to form new layers of sedimentary rock.
The large rock weathers. Its particles are eroded to a place of deposition. The particles are compacted and cemented together, forming a new sedimentary rock. This is a simplified explanation of the process.

Sedimentary Rocks. Sedimentary rocks are created from stratification by the layering of materials on one another which then get compacted and cemented by sedimentation process over long period of time. The whole process of formation of sedimentary rocks from sediment is called Diagnesis. Examples of sedimentary rocks are limestone, chalk, and sandstone.
Sedimantary RocksThese rocks are formed from th ehot lavaJk jk i was bored i dont reall know what they mean and i real HATE STAaR
well lithification means the process in which sediments compact under pressure and also the rock particles are compacted together to for sedimentary rock.
A sedimentary rock gets buried within the crust due to the movement of the plate tectonics; gets baked and becomes a metamorphic rock OR gets melted and solidifies to become an igneous rock. When the rocks (either metamorphic or igneous or both) are exposed, weathering and erosion occurs and the rock sediments are transported where they deposit at the bottom of a water body and get compacted (by the weight of the layers of sediments above) and cemented (by the minerals dissolved in the water) to become a sedimentary rock.
Sedimentary rocks are formed by the lithification (cementing, compacting, and hardening) of existing rock or the bones, shells, and pieces of formerly living things. Rocks are weathered and eroded into tiny particles which are then transported and deposited along with other pieces of rock called sediments. Sediments are cemented together and compacted and hardened over time by the weight and pressure of up to thousands of feet of additional sediments above them. Eventually, the sediments are lithified and become solid sedimentary rock. These sediments that come together are known as clastic sediments. Sediments usually sort themselves by the size of the particles during the deposition process so sedimentary rocks tend to contain similarly sized sedimentary particles. An alternative to clastic sediments are chemical sediments which are minerals in solution that harden. The most common chemical sedimentary rock is limestone, which is a biochemical product of calcium carbonate created by the parts of dead creatures. Approximately three-quarters of the earth's bedrock on the continents is sedimentary.
