Diagram of the layers of deposition weathering compaction and cementation?

The diagram of sedimentary rock formation typically includes four main processes: deposition, weathering, compaction, and cementation. First, weathering breaks down existing rocks into smaller sediments, which are then transported and deposited in layers. Over time, these layers accumulate and undergo compaction due to the weight of overlying sediments. Finally, minerals precipitate from groundwater, acting as a cement that binds the sediments together, forming solid sedimentary rock.
