Question

which process forms sedimentary rock in the rock cycle after sediments accumulate and combine?
sediments undergo heat and pressure.
sedimentary rock weathers and erodes.
sediments compact and cement together.
sedimentary rock experiences cooling and melting.

Explanation:

Sedimentary rocks are formed when sediments accumulate. After accumulation, the key process is compaction (squeezing of sediments) and cementation (binding of sediments by minerals). Heat and pressure form metamorphic rocks. Weathering and erosion break down rocks. Cooling and melting are related to igneous rocks.

Answer:

Sediments compact and cement together.
