Well, darling, let me break it down for you. Non-examples for cementation would be things like a fluffy cloud, a juicy burger, or a cozy blanket. Basically, anything that doesn't involve sediment particles sticking together and forming a solid rock. Hope that clears things up for you, sugar.

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.
