Sink - the physical, chemical and geologic setting of the site of deposition of the sediment Sediment is converted to sedimentary rock by lithification : cementation - precipitation of a chemical cement that binds the individual particles together - effective with the coarser grained rocks and compaction - grains are forced together as a result of an increase in load pressure - effective with the finer clastic sedimentary rocks.
