Solution

Para identificar cuál es el proceso que convierte los sedimentos en rocas sedimentarias, sigamos estos pasos:

  1. Weathering and erosion: Este proceso implica la descomposición y el transporte de rocas y minerales en partículas más pequeñas, pero no convierte los sedimentos en rocas sedimentarias.

  2. Compaction and cementation: Este es el proceso correcto. La compactación ocurre cuando los sedimentos se comprimen bajo el peso de capas adicionales de sedimentos. La cementación ocurre cuando los minerales disueltos en el agua se precipitan y actúan como un pegamento, uniendo las partículas de sedimento.

  3. Heating and pressure: Este proceso se asocia más comúnmente con la formación de rocas metamórficas, no sedimentarias.

  4. Melting: Este proceso se relaciona con la formación de rocas ígneas, no sedimentarias.

Por lo tanto, el proceso que convierte los sedimentos en rocas sedimentarias es Compaction and cementation.
