Briefly describe the five major process involved in the formation of sedimentary rocks?
Weathering, Erosion, Deposition, Compaction, & Cementation.
What process changes igneous rock and metamorphic rock into sedimentary rock?
Broadly weathering, erosion, deposition, compaction and cementation.
What is the process by which sediments get pressed together?
The process is called compaction and that is when the mineral grains are pressed together but have pore spaces in between and hot fluids can pass through. Cementation is when they are fully glued on and there aren't any pore spaces.
The first two steps in the lithification process are?
compaction and cementation.
Which process creates sedimentary rock from sediment?
Compaction and Cementation
Which process will change sedimentary rock into another sedimentary rock?
Weathering, erosion, deposition, compaction, and cementation.

In the lithification process compaction is followed by .?
Cementation.

What is it called when sediment becomes rock?
The weathering, erosion, and deposition of the rock rhyolite could result in the compaction and cementation into sedimentary rock of different types: breccia, conglomerate, sandstone, mudstone, or shale. Which type depends on the degree of weathering and the distance from the point of origin of the original rhyolite.
The first two steps in the lithification process are?
compaction and cementation.
Why is cementation such an important process?
it results in the compaction of rock fragments
Which process creates sedimentary rock from sediment?
Compaction and Cementation
What is compaction followed by in the lithification process?
In the lithification process, compaction is followed by cementation. It is the hardening and welding of clastic sediments by the precipitation of mineral matter.
What is the process in which sediment is deposited in layers is called?
stratification
