Sediments are glued together by minerals?
The process is called cementation.
What is the process in Which layers in sedimentary rock form?
OK, first the sediments are deposited then they under go cementation (being ''glued together'' by minerals that are left after evaporation) or it can go through compaction ( pressed together). And that is really all that happens.
What is the process of pressing sediments called?
The process of pressing sediments is called compaction. The process that results in the layers being stuck together is called cementation.
The process that presses sediments together is called?
the process that presses sedimants together is called?
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.

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).
What is the process which sedimentary rock is in layers?
OK, first the sediments are deposited then they under go cementation (being ''glued together'' by minerals that are left after evaporation) or it can go through compaction ( pressed together). And that is really all that happens.

What is the process in which sediments are forced together by pressure?
•compaction
The process by which dissolved minerals crystallize and glue particles of sediment together into one mass?
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.
What is the prossess where grains are pressed together by the weight of sediments above?
The process where grains are pressed together by the weight of sediments above is called compaction. It is one of the processes of lithification.

Process by which sediments are pressed together to form rock?
