MATCH QUESTION

Match the following TERM with its definition -
Compaction
The process in which sediment is squeezed due to the weight and pressure of overlying layers.
Cementation
During the carriage of rocks by rivers, the rock particles (mixed with soil) sink and become a layer of sediment. Often the sediments build up and form small accumulations, which over time and pressure turn into sedimentary rock.
DEPOSITION
The process in which sediments are glued together by minerals that are deposited by water.
WEATHERING
Igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks present on the surface of the earth are constantly being broken down by wind and water over a long time.
EROSION
Carrying away of broken rocks by rain, streams, rivers, and oceans to a distant place from their origin.
