Compaction

Cementation

How is cementation different from compaction?

1

Summarize the process in order, from first to last, by which sedimentary rock is formed.

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
Deposition drops the sediment in new locations		first
weathering breaks down rock into smaller sediments		second
Cementation glues or cements the layers of sediment together creating sedimentary rock		third
Erosion carries sediment from original place		fourth
Compaction presses layers of sediment together		last
