When rock compacts
lithification (cementing, compacting, and hardening)
compacting and cementing
Sedimentary rocks, such as sandstone, shale, and limestone, are most likely to result from the compaction and cementation of particles. These rocks form through the accumulation and lithification of sediments that have been weathered and eroded from pre-existing rocks.
Sedimentary rocks are most likely to result from the process of compacting and cementing particles together. This process involves the deposition of sediments such as sand, clay, and gravel, which are then compacted under pressure and cemented together over time to form sedimentary rocks like sandstone, shale, and limestone.

Compacting and cementing together can form sedimentary rocks. Compaction involves squeezing sediments together due to the weight of overlying materials, while cementing involves filling the pore spaces between sediments with minerals, creating a solid rock.
Squeeze * Edit - Compacting
Sedimentary rock is most likely the result of compacting and cementing particles together. This process involves the accumulation and compression of sediment (such as sand, mud, and organic matter) over time, eventually forming solid rock through lithification. Examples of sedimentary rocks include sandstone, shale, and limestone.
The process of rocks compacting and cementing together to form a solid rock is called lithification. During this process, loose sediment or other rock materials are transformed into sedimentary rocks through pressure and mineral precipitation.
Undergo transformation into other types of rocks through processes such as melting, cooling, weathering, and compacting. This cycle involves the continuous creation, destruction, and reformation of rocks in the Earth's crust.
Sedimentary rocks are formed from the compaction and cementation of particles such as sand, silt, and clay. These particles are deposited in layers over time, and the pressure from the weight of the overlying material squeezes them together and binds them with minerals forming sedimentary rocks.
A sedimentary rock is formed when an igneous rock is subjected to weathering, erosion, compaction, and cementation!
