Lithification—Sediments to Sedimentary rocks. Sedimentary rocks are made of lithified (i.e. converted to rock) sediments. Lithification is a conversion of loose sediments into solid rocks. Sediments are grains (or clasts) of rocks, minerals, or mineraloids deposited on the surface of the earth. Reflect on the rock cycle for an indication of ...Web

Marble, a metamorphosed limestone, is used for tile and sculptures. Limestone, a chemical precipitate sedimentary rock, is used to make Portland cement as the basis for all concrete systems. Limestone is burnt to force out the water in its chemical form, producing lime, combining it with water, sand, and gravel; we're going to get cement.Web

There are three main types of rocks: sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic.

Sedimentation and tectonics. All sedimentation is related at least remotely to tectonics ( Dickinson, 1974 ). Tectonic forces produce uplifts whose erosion products are a source of sediments; tectonic forces produce downwarps and basins that are a trap for sediments. The tectonic relationships of the sediments vary between extremes of direct ...Web
