The proper sequence of geological processes is deposition, compaction, cementation, and then erosion. First, sediments are deposited in layers. Over time, these layers undergo compaction due to the weight of overlying materials, followed by cementation, where minerals precipitate and bind the particles together. Finally, erosion occurs, removing material from the landscape and exposing the rock layers formed through the previous processes.
