Coal is produced from the diagenesis of?
organic materials
What parts of the Rock cycle occur at the Earth's surface?
Mostly the sedimentary part which involves the process of weathering, and diagenesis occurs at the earths surface.
What type of rock is made of previously existing rock whose formation does not involve high temperature and pressure?
Clastic sedimentary rock is a product of the weathering, erosion, and diagenesis of pre-existing rock.
Compaction is a very important part of the lithification for which sediment gravel sand mud cobble?
Lithification processes, collectively referred to as "diagenesis," include: compaction (example: clay to shale), cementation (example: sand to sandstone), and partial recrystallization (example: lime mud to limestone). Note: Pressure by itself does not by compaction lithify sand to sandstone. Sandstone diagenesis is mostly by cementation and also, sometimes, by partial recrystallization and crystal overgrowths. The same is so of gravel that lithifies to conglomerate.
What are rocks made up of pebbles cemented together with other sediment called?
The process is called 'lithification'. ----------------------------------------------------------- Another word you could use is 'diagenesis' which is any chemical, physical, or biological change undergone by a sediment after its initial deposition and during and after its lithification. ----------------------------------------------------------- The combined process of, accumulation, stratification, sedimentation, compaction, cementation, and lithification, of deposited materials and detritus to form sedimentary rocks is called diagenesis.
How do rocks breakdown?

What is Fossil Diagenesis?
Processes during shallow burial.

What are the agents of lithification?
Lithification refers to the process in which sediments compact under pressure. The two primary agents of lithification are compaction and cementation.

What parts of the Rock cycle occur at the Earth's surface?
Mostly the sedimentary part which involves the process of weathering, and diagenesis occurs at the earths surface.
Is there a relationship between diagenesis and orogensis?
Orogenesis: The process of mountain formation, especially by a folding and faulting of the earth's crust Diagenesis: The physical and chemical changes occurring during the conversion of sediment to sedimentary rock. So, from one geologist to a non-geologist - I'd say no.
Why do some rocks have different minerals?
the reason is because rocks can have different depositional environments and diagenesis history.
