Which of these sequences lists the correct order for the creation of sedimentary rock from sediment? a. deposition, burial, compaction, cementation b. burial, deposition, compaction, cementation c. compaction, deposition, burial, cementation d. cementation, deposition, burial, compaction

A. deposition, burial, compaction, cementation

Explanation:

Sedimentary rocks are formed through the deposition and accumulation of  sediments, and their subsequent consolidation (diagenesis). Diagenesis is the set of chemical, physical and biological transformations and processes that the sedimentary deposit undergoes upon its deposition, and can lead to the unconsolidated sedimentary deposit in the rock. Litification is the process of becoming rock. The best known lithification processes are compaction, dissolution, cementation, and diagenetic recrystallization.
