Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Cementation is a process by which minerals precipitate from pore fluids and bind individual grains together to form a rock. The cement may be quartz, calcite, hematite, etc. The process of converting sediments into rocks is termed lithification.
Detailed explanation-2: -cementation, in geology, hardening and welding of clastic sediments (those formed from preexisting rock fragments) by the precipitation of mineral matter in the pore spaces. It is the last stage in the formation of a sedimentary rock.
Detailed explanation-3: -Dissolved minerals flow between the sediment particles and cement them together to become rock in a process called lithification.
