The squeezing together of rocks by stress is called compression.
compression.
Compression.
pp
It is called compaction.
The particles in the sediments are cemented as pressure squeezes out water. The dissolved minerals in the water, usually silica or calcite, then become solid (crystallize), tying the particles together.
It is called sedimentary rock.
The process where grains are pressed together by the weight of sediments above is called compaction. It is one of the processes of lithification.
pp
It is called sedimentary rock.
Anything that gets stuck together by pressure is compaction. I.E., Snow.
The process of pressing sediments is called compaction. The process that results in the layers being stuck together is called cementation.
the process when sediments are glued together is called sedimentation
It is called compaction.
Compression
It is called cementation when a mineral acts like glue to hold sediments together.
The main force is weight of overlying rocks , called overburden, which puts overburden pressure on sediments and make them compress and compacts
Compaction does not necessarily cause materials to stick together. Cementation is more like having a binding material between the layers. Even compaction CAN result in binding together of materials such as sandstone.
Rock fragments are called sediments and by a process called lithification they turn into sedimentary rocks. Lithification is made up by compaction and cementation which is by pressure and a natural glue that is formed from groundwater the sediments stick together and then harden into rock.
The particles in the sediments are cemented as pressure squeezes out water. The dissolved minerals in the water, usually silica or calcite, then become solid (crystallize), tying the particles together.
