Layers of sediment are piled on top of each other, and the top layers compress the lower layers into rock.
In order to get an igneous rock from a sedimentary rock, the sedimentary rock must be melted and then that melt must crystallize.
Melting.
Is produced, transport, deposited and lithified the process of sedimentary rock
lithification
Compaction
In order to get an igneous rock from a sedimentary rock, the sedimentary rock must be melted and then that melt must crystallize.
Weathering, erosion, deposition, compaction, and cementation.
Cementing is not a process involved in the formation of sedimentary rock.
Melting.
Lithification
Orginally an igneous rock and then became secondary metamorphic rock and now sedimentary rock.
SEDIMENTARY ROCK FORMATION, begins with igneous, metamorphic, or other sedimentary rocks. When these rocks are exposed at the earth's surface they begin the long but relentless process of becoming sedimentary rock.
