When rock sediments are deposited, an increase in weight causes pressure to increase which leads to the compaction of the rock p

articles. Water is pushed out and cementation occurs as dissolved minerals are deposited in the very small spaces between the rock sediments acting as glue that binds the sediments together. Which process describes the changing of sediments into rock by compaction and cementation?

Answer:

A. light penetration

Explanation:

Water clarity refers to how clear a water is, and it is a measure of how far/deep light can penetrate into such a water body. A water that is not clear is said to be TURBID. Several factors affect the clarity of a water body and they include;

- Phytoplankton, which refers to floating algae on the water body. An accumulated growth of phytoplankton can affect the penetration of light into the water, hence, making the water unclear.

- Suspended sediments can also block the penetration of light into the water, reducing water clarity.

- Nutrients in form of fertilizer or waste materials can also make water unclear.

Therefore, LIGHT PENETRATION DOES NOT IMPACT WATER CLARITY, rather it is dependent on water clarity.
