Describe the two processes necessary for sediments to lithify into sedimentary rock.

Respuesta :

(1)
Sediments are squeezed together by the weight of overlying sediments on top of them. This is called compaction. Cemented, non-organic sediments become clastic rocks. If organic material is included, they are bioclastic rocks.

(2)
Fluids fill in the spaces between the loose particles of sediment and crystallize to create a rock by cementation.
