What is the process of rock particles settling on the riverbed called?
The process is called deposition.
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.
What is he process that sediments are GLUED together?
the process when sediments are glued together is called sedimentation
Process of gluing sediments?
It's called cementation, part of the lithification process which turns sediments into rock.
The process that presses sediments together is called?
the process that presses sedimants together is called?

What is the settling of sediments at the bottom of a lake called?
Because the force of the flow / tide is no longer strong enough to carry it.
What is he process that sediments are GLUED together?
the process when sediments are glued together is called sedimentation
What is the settling out of sediments carried by water wind or ice to form sedimentary rocks?
It is called deposition.

What is the difference between sedimentation and decantation?
Sedimentation:- The process of settling down of heavier insoluble particles from mixture is called sedimentationDecantation:- the process of transferring the clear liquid without disturbing the sediments is called DecantationSupernatant :- the clear liquid above the sediments is called supernatant.so basically sedimentation lets the sediments settle down, and once they are settled, removing of the liquid (supernatant) above the settled sediments is called Decantation.Sedimentation is the deposition of the phase more dense or insoluble from a mixture.Decantation is a process of a mixture separation; the top layer of liquid is extracted.These two phenomenons are very related.
The process that presses sediments together is called?
the process that presses sedimants together is called?
Sediments are glued together by minerals?
The process is called cementation.
Where do rivers and oceans meet?
That is called the river's mouth. A delta could form there from the sediments settling there do to the river slowing down or stopping.
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.
What Sediments are transported or moved from the original source by a process called?
erosion
