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 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.
Sedimentary rocks are formed by the process of compaction and?

What is the name of the process in which sediment turn into rock?
The process is called lithification, which involves the compaction and cementation of sediment to form sedimentary rock.
The process by which thick layers or sediment press down on the layers beneath them is called?
The process you are referring to is called compaction. Compaction occurs when the weight of overlying sediments forces out water and air, reducing the volume of the sediment and causing grains to come closer together.
What is another word for burial compaction and cementation of sediment?
Diagenesis is the process that involves burial compaction and cementation of sediment.
