Sediment becomes sedimentary rock through lithification , which involves: Compaction due to pressure or weight of overlying sediments Cementation by deposition of minerals in pore spaces from waters carrying ions in solution Sedimentary rocks also form as a result of precipitation of minerals from solution in lakes, in the sea, in caves, and in hot springs.
