Exempel
Diagenesis refers to the physical, chemical, and biological changes that sediments undergo after deposition and before lithification.
Diagenes avser de fysiska, kemiska och biologiska förändringar som sediment genomgår efter avsättning och före litifikation.
During diagenesis, sediments may experience compaction, cementation, mineral alteration, and the migration of fluids, which ultimately lead to the formation of sedimentary rocks.
Under diagenesen kan sediment uppleva kompaktion, cementering, mineraländring och vätskemigration, vilket i slutändan leder till bildandet av sedimentära bergarter.
