The process is called 'lithification'.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Another word you could use is 'diagenesis' which is any chemical, physical, or biological change undergone by a sediment after its initial deposition and during and after its lithification.
-----------------------------------------------------------
The combined process of, accumulation, stratification, sedimentation, compaction, cementation, and lithification, of deposited materials and detritus to form sedimentary rocks is called diagenesis.

What are sedimentary rocks that are made up of rounded pebbles cemented together called?
Conglomerate is a sedimentary rock made up of rounded pebbles cemented together.
Made up of rounded pebbles cemented together?
These stones are called conglomerate pavers.
Rocks called are made up of pebbles cemented together with other sediments?
Conglomerates are sedimentary rocks consisting of rounded fragments.
What are particles of weathered rock called?
The smaller chunks are pebbles and dust. When they are carried by water, they are called sediment.
What is formed when particles and bits of rock are cemented together?
The rock that forms when particles of rock or plant remains are cemented together is called sedimentary rock.

Rocks called what are made out of Pebbles cemented together with each other sediments?
conglomerate
What are small rounded stones that have been cemented together called?
egg rocks we have them in front garden!
What rock are sedimentary rocks?
Many sedimentary rocks are made from the broken bits of other rocks. These are called clast sedimentary rocks. The broken bits of rocks are called sediment. Sediment is the sand you find at the beach, the mud in a lake bottom, the pebbles in a river, and even the dust on furniture. The sediment may, in time, form a rock if the little pieces become cemented together
Rocks called are made up of pebbles cemented together with other sediments?
Conglomerates are sedimentary rocks consisting of rounded fragments.
What is a rock made of layers that are cemented together?
Layers of sediment which have undergone lithification are called sedimentary rock.
How can you change a igneous rock into a sedimentary rock?
The igneous rock must be broken down into fragments called sediment and somehow cemented together.
What are particles of weathered rock called?
The smaller chunks are pebbles and dust. When they are carried by water, they are called sediment.
What does mudstone turn into if it is heated and squashed?
Well, after millions of years, the mud will start to cement together, due to natural cements and will form rock. This can result in footprints, fossils, animal remain, etc to be preserved in the rock. If u want a better explanation, there is a thing called Wikipedia...
What is formed when particles and bits of rock are cemented together?
The rock that forms when particles of rock or plant remains are cemented together is called sedimentary rock.
How can one rock be changed from one type of rock to another?
What would most usually happen would be that the rock would under-go something called metamorphism. This is when such natural forces- air, wind, rain, snow, etc.- would interfer with the growing & changing of the rock. E.g.- Sedimentary rock forms when sediment gets compacted & cemented together. If the rock does not get cemented together the "sediment" stays, well, sediment. The only way it could change is if metamorphism were to change its chemical composition, etc.
