The process by which dissolved minerals crystallize and glue particles of sediment together into one mass?

The particles in the sediments are cemented as pressure squeezes out water. The dissolved minerals in the water, usually silica or calcite, then become solid (crystallize), tying the particles together.

The process where squashed together grains of rock become stuck together?

The process you're referring to is called cementation. It occurs when minerals deposited from water between grains of sediment act as a binding agent, sticking the grains together to form a solid rock. This cementation process is a key step in the formation of sedimentary rocks.


Is cementation the process of which dissolved minerals cristalize and glue sediments together?

Yes, cementation is the process by which dissolved minerals crystallize and bind sediment grains together into a solid rock. This process occurs in sedimentary rocks and helps in their consolidation.
