Compaction
Decompression melting of extremely hot mantle rock as it rises toward the surface.
Yes, heat is involved in the formation of some sedimentary rocks. This heat can come from nearby volcanic activity or deep within the Earth's crust, and can contribute to the process of lithification, which transforms loose sediment into solid rock. However, overall, heat is not as significant in sedimentary rock formation as it is in igneous and metamorphic rock formation.
Igneous rocks form from the cooling and solidification of magma or lava. This process involves molten rock cooling and crystallizing to form solid rock. Metamorphic rocks, on the other hand, form from the alteration of existing rocks due to high heat and pressure, without the presence of magma.
The two major processes involved in the formation of sedimentary rock include deposition (in which sedimentary material is deposited in an area) and cementation (in which that material becomes glued together overtime).
