Sandstone, a sedimentary rock, is formed by the deposition and cementation of small particles of weathered rock and/or minerals above the surface of Earth.

Sedimentary rocks are thusly formed.
Sedimentary rock is formed from the processes of compaction and cementation of sediments.
Firstly, sediments are solid fragments of inorganic or organic material. The bulk of sediment is formed from the weathering of rock, wherein the rock is broken into smaller and smaller pieces by a variety of chemical and mechanical processes, including acidic rainfall, freeze/thaw cycles, and the actions of organisms.
Sedimentary Rocks. For Example, Sandstone and Conglomerate.
Cementation.
Sedimentary rock are formed by cementation and compaction. This happens when sediment particles are compressed and fused together over very long periods of time.

The uplifted surface is then subjected to weathering and erosion, resulting in the deposition, compaction, and cementation of sediments which creates sedimentary rock.
Igneous (formed from molten rock), metamorphic (formed from metamorphism of preexisting rock), sedimentary (formed from cementation or compaction of sediments, mineral precipitation, or organic material).

It combines with the rock or material and compacts it to a growh where it cant be effected until cementation. Your welcome
The process is known as lithification, involving the compaction and cementation of sediments.
Rock fragments are called sediments and by a process called lithification they turn into sedimentary rocks. Lithification is made up by compaction and cementation which is by pressure and a natural glue that is formed from groundwater the sediments stick together and then harden into rock.
It's called cementation, part of the lithification process which turns sediments into rock.
Compaction and cementation of sediments are the processes of lithification which form clastic sedimentary rock.
