About this document
Compaction and Lithification Processes by vkboss1301 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document discusses various processes involved in the compaction, lithification, and diagenesis of sediments. It describes how compaction reduces porosity through mechanical and chemical processes. Diagenesis includes both mechanical and chemical changes as sediments are buried deeper over time. This leads to further reduction in porosity and permeability through processes like pressure solution, cementation, and mineral replacement reactions.
