How might a sandstone change into another sandstone?
Sand that is overlayed by additional sediments will experience compaction. Small gaps between sand particles will fill in with minerals which cement the particles together. The process takes a long, long time.
What are the six steps of forming a sedimentary rock?
1.step Weathering-breaking rocks apart. 2.step Erosion-taking rocks away. 3.step Deposition-landing in a new destination. 4.step Sedimentary-new layers are formed pressing down on each other. 5.step Comentation-pieces of rocks are glued together.7
What is lithification most closely related to?
sedimentary rock formation
How does a humidifier air purifier work?
A humidifier air purifier works by drawing in air through a filter (the purification process) followed by the air being ejected out with water vapor (the humidifier process).
What process do scientist use to answer questions about the world?
In brief, they use the scientific method, where they find facts by experiment, observation followed by inference.
What is compaction followed by in the lithification process?
In the lithification process, compaction is followed by cementation. It is the hardening and welding of clastic sediments by the precipitation of mineral matter.
What is the name of the process in which sediment turn into rock?
Lithification
The first two steps in the lithification process are?
compaction and cementation.
What is the first step to the lithification process?
The first step is compaction
Compaction is an important lithification process with which sediment size?
Because sands and other coarse sediments are less compressible, compaction is most significant as a lithification process in fine-grained sedimentary rock.
What process changes sediments into rock?
The process is known as lithification, involving the compaction and cementation of sediments.
Compaction is a very important part of the lithification process for which sediment?
peats, probably
What are the agents of lithification?
Lithification refers to the process in which sediments compact under pressure. The two primary agents of lithification are compaction and cementation.
How do these factors cause lithification?
well lithification means the process in which sediments compact under pressure and also the rock particles are compacted together to for sedimentary rock.
During lithification what two processes occur?
Lithification involves the compaction and cementation of sediment into rock.
What are the two primary causes of lithification?
compaction and cementation
What are the two main stages of lithification?
compaction and cementation
