Sediment can change into sedimentary rock through a process called lithification, which involves compaction and cementation. As layers of sediment accumulate, the weight of the overlying material compresses the deeper layers, reducing their volume. Additionally, minerals precipitate from water that percolates through the sediments, binding the particles together to form solid rock. Over time, this process transforms loose sediment into cohesive sedimentary rock.
