Linked from

The 21 pages that link to Lithification, each with the reason it gives.

• LimestoneRelated: It consolidates deposited carbonate particles into limestone.

• FossilizationRelated: Fossils are commonly enclosed as sediments harden into rock.

• SedimentRelated: Buried sediment can become rock through compaction and mineral cement.

• Sedimentary basinRelated: Lithification preserves basin deposits as rock records.

• Sediment depositionRelated: It consolidates deposited layers through compaction and cementation.

• Rock cycleRelated: Lithification closes the pathway from deposited sediment to sedimentary rock.

• Coral islandRelated: It can cement loose reef-derived sediment into the limestone beneath an island.

• Ripple marksRelated: Burial and lithification can preserve ripple-shaped sediment surfaces in rock.

• SiltstoneRelated: It turns deposited silt into coherent siltstone.

• BrecciaRelated: Lithification turns deposited breccia fragments into coherent rock.

• CementationRelated: Cementation is a principal route by which lithification binds grains.

• GreywackeRelated: Lithification turns deposited greywacke-forming sediment into coherent sandstone.

• Clastic rockRelated: Lithification is the process that turns deposited clastic sediment into rock.

• Geologic recordRelated: It converts deposited material into durable strata.

• Soft-sediment deformation structuresRelated: Deformation qualifies as soft-sediment deformation only when it precedes this conversion.
