NGSS.MS-ESS2-2

the process by which sediments are pressed together (squeeze) under water and layers of other sediments (pressure).

• compaction

• cementation

• fossils

• Sedimentary Rock

the process by which dissolved minerals in the water glue particles of sediment together into one rock.

• fossils

• compaction

• cementation

• weathering

the preserved remains or traces of organisms that once lived on Earth. They are important because they provide evidence of the past.
