Compaction makes rocks out of:

• small sediments

• large sediments

• igneous rocks

• metamorphic rocks

If sediments are large, they must be stuck together by:

• compaction

• cementation

• lava

• melting

Which one takes more pressure?

• compaction

• cementation

Which one happens deeper in the ground?

• compaction

• cementation
