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.
The process in which dissolved minerals crystallize and glue particles of sediment together is called?
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.
When sediments are squeezed together by the weight of sediments and rocks on top of them what is it called?

Rock that is made up of pebbles cemented together with other sediments?
Pebble conglomerate is rock that is made up of pebbles cemented together with other sediments.
What is it called when sediments are forced together?
It is called compaction.

What is he process that sediments are GLUED together?
the process when sediments are glued together is called sedimentation
When sediments are slowly changed to rock what forces the sediments together?
Pressure of water and other sediments.

What causes sediments to stick together?
Pressure. :)
What is it called when a mineral acts like glue to hold sediments together?
It is called cementation when a mineral acts like glue to hold sediments together.
What must happen to metamorphic rock to become sedimentary rock?
The rock is eroded or weathered away into sediments. The sediments settle and through compaction , the sediments are pushed together to form a sediment. Short Answer: It must be broken down into a sediment.
What force presses two contacting surfaces together?
gravity
