What is the prossess where grains are pressed together by the weight of sediments above?
The process where grains are pressed together by the weight of sediments above is called compaction. It is one of the processes of lithification.
How are sand grains held together?
A process referred to as compaction and cementation , where by heat (by pressure - as volume decreases , pressure increases and temperature rises ) rocks and particles become buried and are stuck together or rather "cemented" together by these above mentioned processes.
What happens to the water between the grains when they are pushed together?
If the question has to do with the environmental process of soil liquefaction, the water between the grains stays were it is, which causes the soil grains to lose friction and therefore makes it act as a liquid.
What type of rock forms when small grains of rock are pressed together and become cemented?
A Clastic Sedimentary rock.
When water combines with mineral grains do the grains become smaller or larger?
When water combines with mineral grains, the grains become larger. The increase in size of mineral grains strains the rock material and weakens it.
The word that refers toany rock that has been formedfrom layers of grains which have been deposited and then squashed?
Sedimentary rocks are formed from sediments over time. Individual grains are deposited and then squashed together to form larger rocks.

What type of sedimentary rock forms when grains of sand become cemented together?
Sandstone

What rock forms when grains of sand become cemented together?
Sedimentary rock e.g Sandstone

How do sediments change over time?
The get compacted with burial and dewater. The grains from which they are made become cemented together and the sediments become sedimentary rocks.
What type of rock forms when small grains of rock are pressed together and become cemented?
A Clastic Sedimentary rock.
How can grains of sand become part of sedimentary rock?
the compaction and heat under the layers of the Earth causes this process to occur
When water combines with mineral grains do the grains become smaller or larger?
When water combines with mineral grains, the grains become larger. The increase in size of mineral grains strains the rock material and weakens it.
Which process squeezes fluids from between individual grains?
Erosion is the process that squeezes fluids between individual grains. This is known as a long process.
Is porous a rock formed from grains stuck together?
A rock formed from grains stuck together would be Porous
