What is the process of gluing sediments?

The process of gluing sediments together to form sedimentary rock is called lithification. It involves the compaction of sediments under pressure and the cementation of particles by minerals such as calcite, quartz, or iron oxide. Over time, these processes create a solid rock from loose sediment.


When water and other minerals move through open spaces between larger sediments gluing them together what occurs?

Cementation


Process of gluing sediments?

To glue sediments together, a process of lithification occurs. This involves compaction under pressure, cementation by minerals like calcite or silica, and sometimes recrystallization. Over time, these processes solidify the sediments into sedimentary rocks.


What is the process in which dissolved minerals crystallize and glue particles of sediments together?

Cementation is the term that describes the process of forming sedimentary rock.Sedimentary rocks are formed when sediments (products of the weathering of existing rocks) are glued together. When an aqueous solution is dissolved the minerals crystallize and glue sediments together. This process to form sedimentary rocks is called compaction (pressure-hardened) and commendation (gluing together by tiny crystals).
