Understanding Diagenesis and Lithification in Sedimentary Rocks
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
