Question

which is not a part of the sedimentary cycle?
liquefaction
lithification
diagenesis
weathering

Explanation:

The sedimentary cycle involves processes like weathering (breaking down rocks), lithification (converting sediments to sedimentary rocks), and diagenesis (physical/chemical changes in sediments after deposition). Liquefaction is a process where soil loses strength due to ground shaking (e.g., in earthquakes) and is not part of the sedimentary cycle.

Answer:

liquefaction
