Answer:
As sediment deposition builds up, the overburden (or 'lithostatic') pressure squeezes the sediment into layered solids in a process known as lithification ('rock formation') and the original connate fluids are expelled.

Explanation:
The laying down of rock-forming material by a natural agent is called deposition.
Natural agents of deposition are water, ice, gravity, and wind.
Sediment is deposited in flat, horizontal layers with the oldest layers on the bottom and the younger layers laying on and over the older layers.
