It is called compaction.

When sediments are squeezed together due to pressure, it forms sedimentary rock through the process of lithification. This involves compaction and cementation of the sediments under pressure, which ultimately leads to the formation of solid rock.
The process where grains are pressed together by the weight of sediments above is called compaction. This process leads to the formation of sedimentary rocks through the gradual compression of grains over time.
conglomerate
Yes, water is gradually expelled from compacting clay and mud sediments as the particles are forced closer together. This process, known as dewatering, occurs due to the pressure of overlying sediments and results in the consolidation of the sediment layer.

The process by which sediments are glued together to form sedimentary rocks is called lithification. It involves the compaction and cementation of sediments over time, due to the pressure of overlying layers and the precipitation of minerals in the pore spaces of the sediments, binding them together into a solid rock.
The process of pressing sediments together to form solid rock is called compaction. It occurs when layers of sediment accumulate on top of each other, with the weight of the overlying layers causing the sediments to be pressed tightly together.
When sediments are squeezed together due to pressure, it forms sedimentary rock through the process of lithification. This involves compaction and cementation of the sediments under pressure, which ultimately leads to the formation of solid rock.
It is called sedimentary rock.
The process by which sediments are pressed together to form rock is called lithification. It involves the compaction of sediments due to the weight of overlying layers and the cementation of minerals to bind the sediment particles together. Over time, this process transforms loose sediments into solid rock.
The process where grains are pressed together by the weight of sediments above is called compaction. This process leads to the formation of sedimentary rocks through the gradual compression of grains over time.
The process where minerals act like glue to bind sediments together is known as cementation. This occurs when minerals precipitate out of water and fill the spaces between sediment particles, creating a solid rock.
conglomerate
Anything that gets stuck together by pressure is compaction. I.E., Snow.
