Is course sandstone impermeable?
That depends on how well cemented the sandstone is. If the cementation is very poor then the permeability rate is good to excellent. If the cementation is very good, then the permeability rate is poor. Cementation fills in the pore spaces between the grains. The cementation may be calcium or silica.
What is the process of gluing sediments?
Cementation.
Cementation is part of the process of?
lithification
How does a conglomerate rock form?
Compaction and Cementation
What does sand compaction and cementation make?
Sandstone.
What are the cycles that occur in nature?
Cooling,Weathering,Erosion,Compaction,And Cementation.
During lithification what two processes occur?
Lithification involves the compaction and cementation of sediment into rock.
In the lithification process compaction is followed by .?
Cementation.
In what order do deposition weathering and erosion occur?
first the weathering happens which causes an erosion which makes deposition.

What two processes lead directly to the formation of both breccia and conglomerate?
Compaction and cementation
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.

Cementation.
Cementation is part of the process of?
lithification
What comes first compaction or cementation or erosion or deposition?
The order is as follows: 1. Erosion 2. Deposition 3. Compaction 4. Cementation
What presses sediments together?
Usually weight from above, whether from a body of water or from additional sediments.
