Cementation (geology) - Wikipedia
WEBCementation involves ions carried in groundwater chemically precipitating to form new crystalline material between sedimentary grains. The new pore-filling minerals form "bridges" between original sediment grains, thereby binding them together.
Cementation | Diagenesis, Lithification & Compaction - Britannica
WEBCementation, in geology, hardening and welding of clastic sediments (those formed from preexisting rock fragments) by the precipitation of mineral matter in the pore spaces. It is the last stage in the formation of a sedimentary rock.
Cementation: Process & Lithification | Vaia
WEBCementation is a geological process where dissolved minerals precipitate from groundwater and fill the spaces between sediments, binding them into a solid rock. This natural process is crucial in the formation of sedimentary rocks, as it strengthens and solidifies loose sediments over time.
Cementation Definition & Meaning - Merriam-Webster
WEB1. : a process of surrounding a solid with a powder and heating the whole so that the solid is changed by chemical combination with the powder. 2. : the act or process of cementing : the state of being cemented.
What is the Difference Between Compaction and Cementation
WEBFeb 21, 2024 · Compaction involves the mechanical squeezing together of sediment grains due to the weight of overlying sediment layers, while cementation involves the chemical precipitation of minerals, which act as natural glue, binding sediment grains together.
Cements and cementation - SpringerLink
WEBJan 1, 2013 · Cementation is the process of precipitation of mineral matter (cements) in pores within sediments or rocks. It is one of several processes, including mechanical and chemical compaction and mineral replacement, that constitute diagenesis and, taken collectively, produce progressive porosity reduction …
