  2. Cementation (geology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cementation_(geology)

    Coop and Airey (2003) show that for carbonate soils, cementation develops immediately after deposition and allows the soil to maintain a loose structure. Non-recognition of cementation has resulted in construction disputes. [2] For example, a land on a major Project is marked as glacier on contract drawings. It was so hard that it had to be ...

  3. Concretion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concretion

    In the case of pervasive growth, cementation of the host sediments, by infilling of its pore space by precipitated minerals, occurs simultaneously throughout the volume of the area, which in time becomes a concretion. Concretions are often exposed at the surface by subsequent erosion that removes the weaker, uncemented material.

  4. Fault zone hydrogeology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fault_zone_hydrogeology

    Compactions and cementation generally lead to permeability reduction by losing porosity. [1] When a large region, which consist a fault zone, experience compaction and cementation, porosity loss in host rock (undeformed rock surrounding the fault zone) can be greater than that of fault zone rock. Hence, fluids are forced to flow through a fault ...

  5. Clastic rock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clastic_rock

    Cementation is the diagenetic process by which coarse clastic sediments become lithified or consolidated into hard, compact rocks, usually through the deposition or precipitation of minerals in the spaces between the individual grains of sediment. [4] Cementation can occur simultaneously with deposition or at another time.

  6. Cementation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cementation

    Cementation may refer to: Cementation (biology) , the process whereby some sessile bivalve mollusks (and some other shelled invertebrates) attach themselves permanently to a hard substrate Cementation (geology) , the process of deposition of dissolved mineral components in the interstices of sediments

    Drift (geology) – Material of glacial origin; Flocculation – Process by which colloidal particles come out of suspension to precipitate as floc or flake; Longshore drift – Sediment moved by the longshore current; Overbank – Alluvial geological deposit; Sedimentary rock – Rock formed by the deposition and cementation of particles

  9. Inverted relief - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverted_Relief

    Minerals for cementation can come from groundwater. It is thought that a low point like a valley focuses groundflow, so more water and cements move into it, and this results in a greater degree of cementation. [3] Again, the cemented sediments would resist erosion while the surrounding terrain is eroded away to create a ridge or hill. [1] [2]
