What comes first compaction or cementation or erosion or deposition?
The order is as follows: 1. Erosion 2. Deposition 3. Compaction 4. Cementation
What causes change in color in a sedimentary rock?
weathering erosion transportation deposition compaction/cementation and lithification changes sediments to sedimentary rocks. High pressure and temperatures changes them to metamophic rocks
What role does weather and erosion have in the change of igneous rock to sediment?
Clastic sedimentary rocks are formed by the weathering, erosion, deposition, compaction and cementation of other rocks. Chemical sedimentary rocks however may be precipitated directly from saturated solutions (examples incldue the evaporitic rocks and certain types of carbonates such as oolitic limestones). Some other sedimentary rocks may be biogenic in origin (such as the linmestones that are formed of coral reefs).
When igneous rocks are subjected to intense heat and pressure they become what type o rock?
A sedimentary rock is formed when an igneous rock is subjected to weathering, erosion, compaction, and cementation!
Can a igneouse rock become a sedimentary rock?
It all depends on the cycle of how it works.. 1st it would need to cause sediments by weathering + erosion. 2nd It would also need compaction and cementation to cause pressure. 3rd you have a sedimentary rock!!

Which one is scound compaction erosion cementation or deposition?
erosion
What is the sequence of the lithification of a clastic rock?
Weathering and erosion from an existing rock, transportation and deposition, compaction and cementation.
In what order do deposition weathering and erosion occur?
first the weathering happens which causes an erosion which makes deposition.
What forces help to shape the Earth's surface?
Deposition,compaction,cementation,erosion,and weathering
What processes can change sedimentary rock into igneous. rock?
Weathering, erosion, deposition, compaction, and cementation.
What presses sediments together?
Usually weight from above, whether from a body of water or from additional sediments.
What are the parts of the rock cycle?
weathering,erosion,deposition,compaction and cementation,metamorphism,melting,cooling and solidification.
Which process will change sedimentary rock into another sedimentary rock?
Weathering, erosion, deposition, compaction, and cementation.
What processes work together to form sedimentary rocks?
Weathering, Erosion, Deposition, Compaction, Cementation and Lithification.
How can a metamorphic rock can be transformed onto a sedimentary rock?
it can be changed by weathering, erosion, deposition, compaction, and cementation.
What type of rock is formed by the process of erosion deposition compaction and cementation?
Sedimentary Rocks. For Example, Sandstone and Conglomerate.
