Lithification is the process by which sediment is turned into rock over time leading to formation of sedimentary rocks.

Processes of  Lithification

Lithification refers to the process that loose and underconsolidated Sediment particles transform into hard and solid rocks. This process includes a number of geological processes namely

  • compaction
  • deep bury
  • cementation
  • recrystallization
  • dehydration.

    Compaction occurs as the weight of the overlying material increases. Compaction forces the grains closer together, reducing pore space and eliminating some of the contained water.
