What else can I help you with?
The process by which dissolved minerals crystallize and glue particles of sediment together into one mass?
The particles in the sediments are cemented as pressure squeezes out water. The dissolved minerals in the water, usually silica or calcite, then become solid (crystallize), tying the particles together.
The process where squashed together grains of rock become stuck together?
The process you're referring to is called cementation. It occurs when minerals deposited from water between grains of sediment act as a binding agent, sticking the grains together to form a solid rock. This cementation process is a key step in the formation of sedimentary rocks.
Is cementation the process of which dissolved minerals cristalize and glue sediments together?
Yes, cementation is the process by which dissolved minerals crystallize and bind sediment grains together into a solid rock. This process occurs in sedimentary rocks and helps in their consolidation.
What are the agents of lithification?
The agents of lithification are pressure, compaction, cementation, and recrystallization. Pressure from overlying sediments compacts the sediment grains together, while cementation involves minerals filling in spaces between grains to bind them together. Recrystallization can also occur, leading to changes in the composition and structure of the sediment.
What process happens when minerals are precipitated out of water and holds particles of rocks together?
That process is called cementation.
Cementation is part of the process of?
lithification
In the lithification process compaction is followed by .?
Cementation.

Process of gluing sediments?
To glue sediments together, a process of lithification occurs. This involves compaction under pressure, cementation by minerals like calcite or silica, and sometimes recrystallization. Over time, these processes solidify the sediments into sedimentary rocks.
What is the process where sediments are glued together by minerals?
Cementation
Sedimentary rocks are formed by the process of compaction and?
Cementation.
What is the name of the process in which sediment turn into rock?
The process is called lithification, which involves the compaction and cementation of sediment to form sedimentary rock.
What is another word for burial compaction and cementation of sediment?
Diagenesis is the process that involves burial compaction and cementation of sediment.
Process that glues or cements sediment particles together?
cementation
What major process in the formation of clastic sedimentary rocks is .?
Cementation
What process by which sediment Are pressed together to form a rock?
Cementation
