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.
Cementation. Cementation takes place as water is squeezed out by pressures on the sediments exerted by the weight of overlying sediments. The water is replaced by minerals such as carbonates, silicates, iron oxides, or clays, which bond the sediment particles together into a sedimentary rock.
It is the process of cementation that occurs during the lithification process.
cementation is The process where sediments are glued together by minerals Information From: www.delta-education.com/downloads/samples_dsm/738-6037Reader.pdf
The process is called cementation, where sediment particles are cemented together by minerals precipitating from solution.
That process is called cementation.
The process is cementation.

actually no sediment does not form from minerals and crystallize from water.

The rock particles and animal shells are sediments that were transported, then deposited in the same location; as they subsequently were compacted by the weight of additional subsequent sediment deposits from above, the water between the sediment particles was driven out. As compaction drives the water out, minerals are precipitated from the remaining mineral laden solution which bind the animal shells and rock particles together, forming rock.
Minerals that crystallize directly from seawater are examples of hydrogenous sediment.

The process of cementation binds minerals together to form rocks. It occurs when dissolved minerals fill in the spaces between the sediment particles.

The process that presses sediments together is compaction. Thick layers of sediment build up gradually over millions of years. These heavy layers press down on the layers beneath them. The weight of new layers further compacts the sediments, squeezing them tightly together. The layers often remain invisible in sedimentary rock.
It is called leeching!!! HOPE I HELPED!!!!
An igneous rock is formed with volcanic activity- magma or lava. This rock would then undergo extreme heat and/or pressure to become a metamorphic rock. This rock would then weather and erode to become sediment. This sediment would be deposited in an area, compacted when other sediment settles on top of it, and cemented when dissolved minerals crystallize and glue particles of sediment together. That process of weathering/erosion, deposition, compaction, and cementation would form a sedimentary rock. Hope this helps! This information is very reliable.
