Process by which sediments are stuck together to form sedimentary rock?
The process of sediments being compacted and cemented to form sedimentary rocks is called lithification.
They type of sedimentary rock that forms when sediments stick together?
Detrital sedimentary rock. clastic sedimentary A+
What is the breakdown of rock into smaller sediments beginning the process of sedimentary rock formation?
Weathering.
What is the process by which sediments are pushed together in layers to form sedimentary rock?
Settlement and compaction. As particles (sediments) are dumped, lets say, at the bottom of a lake, they will begin to settle and eventually harden into a sedimentary rock.
By what process do rocks become sediment?
Loose sediments can become a sedimentary rock through the process of lithification. These sediments are compacted due to intense pressure and then undergo cementation to form sedimentary rocks.

The process in which moving sedimentary material slows down or form ice that melts?
sediments
What sedimentation process forms stalactites?
Sediments in sedimentary rocks are often caused by precipitation.

How are sedimentary rocks formed physical process?
Metamorphic, igneous, and past sedimentary rocks are turned into sediments by weathering and erosion. Then, the sediment are deposited. Finally, by compaction and/or cementation, a sedimentary rock is formed
What is the process for igneous rock changing to sedimentary rock?
Weathering and erosion
What one sedimentary process makes conglomerate and breccia rocks different?
The length of time that the sediments that compose the rocks are eroded causes the sediments in a conglomerate to become rounded.
What is the process in which dissolved minerals crystallize and glue particles of sediments together?
Cementation is the term that describes the process of forming sedimentary rock.Sedimentary rocks are formed when sediments (products of the weathering of existing rocks) are glued together. When an aqueous solution is dissolved the minerals crystallize and glue sediments together. This process to form sedimentary rocks is called compaction (pressure-hardened) and commendation (gluing together by tiny crystals).
