When rock sediments are deposited, an increase in weight causes pressure to increase which leads to the compaction of the rock particles. Water is pushed out and cementation occurs as dissolved minerals are deposited in the very small spaces between the rock sediments acting as glue that binds the sediments together. Which process describes the changing of sediments into rock by compaction and cementation?

Respuesta :

The correct answer is Lithification

Answer:

The answer is Lithification

Explanation:

Lithification is the processes where rock particles are compacted and cemented together from pressure to form sedimentary rock.
