üledéktömörödés
Üledéktömörödés is a Hungarian term that translates to sediment compaction or consolidation. It refers to the geological process by which loose sediments, such as sand, silt, and clay, are transformed into solid rock over time. This transformation occurs due to the weight of overlying sediments, which reduces the pore space between sediment grains and expels water.
The process of üledéktömörödés involves several stages. Initially, the deposition of new sediment layers on top
In addition to physical compaction, chemical changes can also contribute to üledéktömörödés, a process known as
The resulting consolidated sediments are then classified as sedimentary rocks. The type of sedimentary rock formed
