Compaction
The geological processes, that are involved in changing igneous rock to sedimentary rock are; weathering, erosion, deposition and compaction.
The geological parts of the phosphorus cycle involve the weathering of rocks containing phosphorus minerals, releasing phosphorus into the soil and water. Over time, this phosphorus can become part of sedimentary rocks through processes like sedimentation and compaction. geological processes play a key role in recycling phosphorus over long timescales.
What is meant by the term 'compaction'
The process described is sedimentation, where sediments accumulate over time due to various geological processes. Compaction is a key part of the lithification process, where sediments are compacted under pressure, leading to the formation of sedimentary rocks. This compaction reduces the volume of the sediments and helps bind them together, ultimately forming solid rock layers.
What is meant by the term 'compaction'
it is compaction
adding cheese to Pizza. adding sprinkles to donuts. Filling a brownie with fudge. Compaction: An increase in the density of an object.
The compaction of soil resulted in a more stable foundation for the building.
Geological processes that convert rock minerals and other materials into sedimentary rock primarily include weathering, erosion, deposition, compaction, and cementation. Weathering breaks down existing rocks into smaller particles, while erosion transports these sediments to new locations. Once sediments accumulate, they undergo compaction under the weight of overlying materials and are then cemented together by minerals precipitating from groundwater, forming solid sedimentary rock.
