Answer:
1. Compaction occurs where pressure is placed on loosely packed sediment. The volume of the sediment is reduced and water is squeezed out.
2. Cementation occurs when mineral-bearing water circulates among the grains, hardens, and cements the sediment grains together. This process is most effective when lithifying sand and gravel-sized sediments.

With our technological advances it will take awhile, but eventually yes
Answer:
(2.5, 3)
Explanation:
This question requires using the midpoint formula.
(formula is attached below as an image for better understanding)
First identify which values correspond with which variables in the formula:
First coordinate: (3, 7)
x_1 = 3
y_1 = 7
Second coordinate: (2, -1)
x_2 = 2
y_2 = -1
Now we plug the values into the formula and simplify:
((3+2)/2, (7-1)/2)
(5/2, 6/2)
(5/2, 3)
(2.5, 3
