Question
The process of converting unconsolidated sediments into sedimentary rocks requires which of the following?
Answer: Option A
Answer: (a)
The process, by which loose sediment is hardened to rock are collectively called Lithification. Once this happens, continued erosion and re-transport of the sediment become much more difficult.
The process, which involves in it are compaction, recrystallisation, cementation. The sediment may be compacted by the rearrangement of grains under pressure, reducing pore space and driving out the interstitial liquid.
