The processes of compaction and cementation of this sediment over a long period of time turn the sediment into rock.
Sedimentation is a gravity driven process. Particles sediment due to gravity regardless of what medium they are in.
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.
What is the process in which rocks ate broken down into smaller pieces by ice, water
during cementation, water deposits minerals that bind sediment particles together, which earth spheres are involved in this process?
When sediment particles press together.
cementation
The best sediment sorting description refers to the process by which sediments are separated according to their size and weight. During sediment sorting, finer particles are typically carried further by water or wind, while larger particles settle out closer to their source. This sorting process helps to create distinct layers in sedimentary deposits.

The process is called deposition.
You may be referring to the process of fining, which can be conducted using any of a umber of techniques, to remove particulate matter suspended in solution. If the particles fall and becomes sediment, the usual process of removal is called filtering

erosion?
There are actually 4 processes in which a sedimentary rock forms. 1) Erosion. A process in which old rock wear away and become sediment. 2) Deposition. When the sediment is deposited somewhere and are loosely packed. 3) Compaction. A process in which the sediment particles are squeezed under great pressure. 4) Cementation. When the particles are "glued" together forming 1 rock.
Sediment settles out of the moving water by the process of.
Erosion is the moving of sediment from one place to another place. Deposition is the settling of particles suspended in air, ice, or water due to gravity or friction.
