What else can I help you with?
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.
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 what of water and the top layer of what press the bottom layers tightly together to form what rocks?
The ____ of water and the top layer of ___ press together to form sedimentary rocks.
How is weathering related to the formation of sedimentary rocks?
Weathering is the breaking down of existing rock into smaller pieces that are transported by erosion to a place of deposition, which can lead to compaction and cementation--two processes necessary in the formation of sedimentary rock.
Why is burial usually necessary to turn a sediment into a sedimentary rock?
The key to converting sediment into sedimentary rock is often though of as being pressure. And it is only by burial that enough pressure can be generated on a layer of sediment to "press" it into sedimentary rock. With pressure and time comes what is called compaction and the expulsion of (most of) the space between the particles of sediment that were deposited. Let's look at sediments being laid down and turned into sedimentary rock.When sediments are created, moved and deposited, they can consolidate and form a layer or layers. These strata will be composed of particles of organic and inorganic material. Included will be the intersticial spaces between the sediments. Any water present in the pore spaces (and there usually is) will bring with it dissolved minerals. These can precipitate out in the spaces, and will cause cementation, which is the binding of these minerals to the particles of sediment and the "sticking together" of the sediments. Following the deposition of more material, pressure (lithostatic pressure) will build on the underlying strata. The compaction forces the layer to become more dense and to "turn to stone" over time. And sedimentary rock is the result of this process.

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.

The what of water and the top layer of what press the bottom layers tightly together to form what rocks?
The ____ of water and the top layer of ___ press together to form sedimentary rocks.
What is the process of compaction?
When sediment particles press together.
How do you view your layers in Gimp 2.6.3?
Press control + L to open the Layers window.
What are the five stages of fossilisation?
The five stages of fossilization are: burial, decay, mineralization, compression, and exposure. In burial, the organism is covered by sediment. Decay involves the breakdown of organic material. Mineralization is where minerals seep into the remains and harden them. Compression is when layers of sediment build up and press down on the remains. Exposure is when the fossil is uncovered and revealed on the surface.
What ground coffee should I use for a French press?
For a French press, use coarse ground coffee to prevent sediment in your brew.
