4 0

<span>Lithification is the process by which sediment turns into hardened rock. There are three ways in which lithification can occur. These processes are called compaction, recrystallization and cementation

so sediments (sand) are buried the increase in pressure from the weight of the overlaying material pushes the grains closer together. the volume of sediment is reduced and the fluids between the grains are also squeezed out. this leaves the sandstone tightly compressed together this is lithification.

What plate boundaries causes sea floor spreading?

Blababa [14]

Answer: Seafloor spreading occurs at <u>divergent plate boundaries.</u> As tectonic plates slowly move away from each other, heat from the mantle's convection currents makes the crust more plastic and less dense. The less-dense material rises, often forming a mountain or elevated area of the seafloor.
