Rock Cycle
What is a sedimentary rock?What is a sedimentary rock?• Sedimentary rocks result from mechanical
and chemical weathering• Comprise ~ 5% of Earth’s upper crust• About 75% of exposed rocks• Contain evidence of past environments
• Record how sediment is transported• Often contain fossils

Diagenesis includes:Diagenesis includes:
RecrystallizationRecrystallization – growth of stable – growth of stable minerals from less stable onesminerals from less stable ones
LithificationLithification – loose sediment is – loose sediment is transformed into solid rock by transformed into solid rock by compaction and cementationcompaction and cementation
Natural cements: calcite, silica, and Natural cements: calcite, silica, and iron oxide. Formed from ions in iron oxide. Formed from ions in solution in water. solution in water.
►DiagenesisDiagenesis – chemical and physical changes – chemical and physical changes that take place after sediments are depositedthat take place after sediments are deposited
►Diagenesis varies with composition Diagenesis varies with composition
