Lithification refers to the process in which sediments compact under pressure. The two primary agents of lithification are compaction and cementation.
Lithification involves the compaction and cementation of sediment into rock.
Erosion, transportation of the eroded material, deposition of this material then lithification.
In the lithification process, compaction is followed by cementation. It is the hardening and welding of clastic sediments by the precipitation of mineral matter.
