What else can I help you with?
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.
The process in which thick layers of sediment press down on the layers beneath them is called?
The process you're referring to is called compaction. Compaction occurs as the weight of overlying sediment squeezes the grains of sediments together and reduces the volume of pore space between them.
What are stresses called that tend to press a body of rocks together?
Compressive stresses. These stresses can lead to the folding and faulting of rocks as they are squeezed together.
What is burial and compaction?
Burial is the process where sediments accumulate on top of a material, such as organic matter or minerals, leading to its entombment beneath the Earth's surface. Compaction refers to the compression of these sediments over time due to the weight of the overlying layers, eventually forming rocks like sandstone or shale. Both processes are important steps in the formation of sedimentary rocks.
What two processes play a role in forming sedimentary rocks?
The process of lithification changes rocks into sediments. This process is broken up into two parts: cementation and compaction. In cementation, the substance crystallizes, or fills in the spaces between loose particles of sediment. In compaction, the sediments are squeezed together by the weight of layers on top of them.

The process in which dissolved minerals crystallize and glue particles of sediment together is called?
The process that presses sediments together is compaction. Thick layers of sediment build up gradually over millions of years. These heavy layers press down on the layers beneath them. The weight of new layers further compacts the sediments, squeezing them tightly together. The layers often remain invisible in sedimentary rock.
What presses sediments together?
Usually weight from above, whether from a body of water or from additional sediments.
What is the process of compaction?
When sediment particles press together.
Define cementation and compaction?
Sediments are in sedimentary rocks. Everyday, more and more sediment is layed on top of the first batch of sediment(first layer). As the layers build up, they begin to press down on that first layer of sediment, pushing most of the air and water out of it, pushing the particles closer together. This is the process of compaction. This process occurs underground or above and is part of the way that sedimentary rocks are formed.Cementation is the next step in the recipe for making sedimentary rocks. In this step, loose sediments are glued together naturally glues like calcite and silica.

What is it called when lesbians spread there legs on top of eachother and hump?
Grinding - when you press two pussies together and simulate humping
