Question

you are a geologist investigating the formation of sedimentary rocks. during your field work you collect samples of sediments from various locations based on your understanding of geological processes. which sequence of events would the settlements most likely undergo to become a sedimentary rock? compaction and cementation folding and recrystallization melting and solidifying heat and pressure

Explanation:

Sediments become sedimentary rocks through compaction (squeezing together) and cementation (minerals binding sediments). Folding and recrystallization are more related to metamorphic rocks, melting and solidifying to igneous rocks, and heat - pressure to metamorphic processes too.

Answer:

A. Compaction and cementation
