In the lithification process compaction is followed by .?
Cementation.
What does rock cementation mean?
Cementation is part of the process of lithification of sediments, or particles of rock, that form sedimentary rock. Cementation takes place as water is squeezed out by pressures on the sediments exerted by the weight of overlying sediments. The water is replaced by minerals such as carbonates, silicates, iron oxides, or clays, which bond the sediment particles together into a sedimentary rock.
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
Is sand impermeable?
Depends on the sandstone and the cementation holding the sand particles together. Generally speaking sandstone has a lot of interconnecting spaces between the sand particles which provides both porosity (ability to hold other material frequently water in geological areas) and the connecting spaces which allows the fluid to move, making it permeable. If sandstone is coated with or has impermeable material pushed into the pore space, then it may become impermeable. The key here is the amount of force used to push the material into the spaces. At some point the force may become sufficiently high to break the cementation of the sandstone apart.

A payroll cycle is the determined period of time of allocated hours worked.

What are some nonexamples fo nuclear fission?

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 two processes lead directly to the formation of both breccia and conglomerate?
Compaction and cementation
What are some nonexamples for unit rate?
A banana is a very good example of a nonexample. It has nothing whatsoever to do with rates, and so nothing to do with unit rates.
What are nonexamples of mass wasting?
A example is sand castle hope I helped
What are nonexamples of ratios?
the number of girls in a class compares to color of bananas
