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.
What is it called when lower layers are pressed together by upper layers on a rock?
Compaction.
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.
Rocks that form when layers of rock particles are squeezed or stuck together?
I beileve the awnser would be Sedimentary Rocks because you know that if Igneous rocks are weathering, they turn into sediments. And if the sediments are squeezed or stuck together it would make a sedimentary rock. And the rock particles are sediments.
Sedimentary rocks?
Sedimentary rocks are formed by the accumulation of sediments.
When layers of sediments are pressed together form.?
Igneous rock
Where are the oldest layers of a sandstone rock located?
Sandstone is a sedimentary rock. Sedimentary rocks form from sediments that deposited by the wind and water. Over the time those sediments will get pressed and cemented together. It can take millions of years for sediments to become a rock. So the oldest layers of a sandstone are on a bottom.
When sediments of living things are pressed together you are left with what?
Sedimentary Rocks are formed when sediments and pressed and cemented together. It is also formed from minerals that are left after a solution is evaporated.

Process by which sediments are pressed together to form rock?
Compaction
What layers of small sediments stick together because when pressure occurs?
When layers of small sediments stick together because of pressure, compaction occurs. :)
What is it called when lower layers are pressed together by upper layers on a rock?
Compaction.
What type of rock forms when sediments are deposited and pressed together?
Sedimentary Rocks.
What type of rock forms when sediments become pressed together?
Sedimentary Rocks.
What is the process which sedimentary rock is in layers?
OK, first the sediments are deposited then they under go cementation (being ''glued together'' by minerals that are left after evaporation) or it can go through compaction ( pressed together). And that is really all that happens.
What is the process in Which layers in sedimentary rock form?

They type of sedimentary rock that forms when sediments stick together?
Detrital sedimentary rock. clastic sedimentary A+
