Sedimentary rocks are often deposited in layers, and frequently contain fossils. Note : Limestone and shale are common sedimentary rocks.

Essentially, lithification is a process of porosity destruction through compaction and cementation.]]> 2018-01-30 17:40:16 UTC https://padlet.com/304376/c0zv934udsnc/wish/226221320 Compaction 304376 https://padlet.com/304376/c0zv934udsnc/wish/226221798 The process by which the porosity of a given form of sediment is decreased as a result of its mineral grains being squeezed together by the weight of overlying sediment or by mechanical means. ]]> 2018-01-30 17:40:53 UTC https://padlet.com/304376/c0zv934udsnc/wish/226221798 Metamorphism 304376 https://padlet.com/304376/c0zv934udsnc/wish/226222406 alteration of the composition or structure of a rock by heat, pressure, or other natural agency.
