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.

A metallurgical coating process in which a metal or alloy such asiron or steel is immersed in a powder of another metal, such aszinc, chromium, or aluminum, and heated to a temperature belowthe melting point of either. Cementation is often employed toincrease resistance to oxidation.

In the lithification process compaction is followed by .?
Cementation.
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 melted rock?
Melted rock is that hasn't surfaced is "Magma".If the melted rock already has surfaced, it is called "Lava".
What are some non-examples for cementation?
rocks that have been eroded and sand you see on the ground.

What does lithification mean in the rock cycle?
Lithified means "to turn to stone", in other words, turning a sediment into a rock.
What type of rock is formed when layers of rock are cemented together?
If the process of cementation is volcanic you get a "tuff". If the cementation post sedimentation of rock clasts you get a sedimentary rock which may be a breccia or a conglomerate.
