Sedimentary rocks are often deposited in layers, and frequently contain fossils.]]> 2018-01-30 16:41:35 UTC https://padlet.com/304772/aopw0m3xe9gy/wish/226183800 304772 https://padlet.com/304772/aopw0m3xe9gy/wish/226187179 Lithification (from the Ancient Greek word lithos meaning 'rock' and the Latin-derived suffix -ific) is the process in which sediments compact under pressure, expel connate fluids, and gradually become solid rock. Essentially, lithification is a process of porosity destruction through compaction and cementation.

In chemical engineering, crystallization occurs in a crystallizer.
