Diagenesis and lithification are crucial processes that transform loose sediment into solid rock through compaction and cementation. Diagenesis involves various chemical, physical, and biological changes while lithification involves the pressure-induced consolidation of sediment. Compaction removes

Sediment provenance in geology involves reconstructing the origin of sediments through compositional analyses to determine erosion history and geographical origins. It helps characterize the journey of sediments from source to sink, providing insights into tectonic and paleoclimatic histories. Prove
