What else can I help you with?
What is the first step to the lithification process?
The first step is compaction
Compaction and cementation forms what?
it is where everything goes wrong
What is another word for burial compaction and cementation of sediment?
Diagenesis is the process that involves burial compaction and cementation of sediment.
How many steps are there to create a clastic sedimentary rock?
# Weathering--the physical or chemical breakdown of rock into smaller particles. # Erosion--occurs when water, wind, ice, or gravity transport the rock particles. # Deposition-- the process by which sediment settles out of the water, wind, or ice carrying it. # Compaction- the process that presses sediments together, squeezing out air and fluids from spaces between particles. # Cementation- the process in which dissolved minerals crystalize and glue particles of sediment together. Note: it takes millions of years for compaction and cementation to transform loose sediments into solid sedimentary rock
How are sedimentary rocks formed through the 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
Which process will change sedimentary rock into another sedimentary rock?
Weathering, erosion, deposition, compaction, and cementation.
In what order do deposition weathering and erosion occur?
first the weathering happens which causes an erosion which makes deposition.
What is the first step to the lithification process?
The first step is compaction
Compaction and cementation forms what?

In the lithification process compaction is followed by .?
Cementation.
What is it called when sediment becomes rock?
The weathering, erosion, and deposition of the rock rhyolite could result in the compaction and cementation into sedimentary rock of different types: breccia, conglomerate, sandstone, mudstone, or shale. Which type depends on the degree of weathering and the distance from the point of origin of the original rhyolite.

Sedimentary rocks are formed by the process of compaction and?
Cementation.
What is the name of the process in which sediment turn into rock?
The process is called lithification, which involves the compaction and cementation of sediment to form sedimentary rock.
Briefly describe the five major process involved in the formation of sedimentary rocks?
The five major processes involved in the formation of sedimentary rocks are weathering, erosion, transportation, deposition, and lithification. Weathering breaks down rocks into smaller particles, erosion moves these particles, transportation carries them to new locations, deposition settles the particles in layers, and lithification compacts and cements the sediments into solid rock over time.
