Lithification refers to the process in which sediments compact under pressure. The two primary agents of lithification are compaction and cementation.
In the lithification process, compaction is followed by cementation. It is the hardening and welding of clastic sediments by the precipitation of mineral matter.
lithification
Lithification is the process of turning loose sediments into solid rock through compaction and cementation. Fossilization is the preservation of organic material in rocks or minerals. Fossils are created during or after the process of lithification when the remains of organisms are incorporated into the rock forming process, leading to their preservation.
sedimentary rocks
Lithification is a Complex process whereby loose grains of sediment are converted into rock . Crystallization is the formation of a solid from a solution, melt, vapor, or a different solid phase :)
The process is called lithification, which involves the compaction and cementation of sediment to form sedimentary rock.
No, lithification is the process by which sediments are compacted and cemented into rock. Erosion is the process by which rocks and sediments are broken down and carried away. Erosion typically occurs before lithification begins.
