Answer 2

Element which act as cement in sedimentary rock formation is hydrogen

Explanation:

• Sedimentary rock are type of rock formed by accumulation/deposition on the ground of oceans or other bodies of water on the surface of the Earth and of small particles and ensuing cementation of mineral/organic particles.
• Sediment transformation into rock is complex, but can be simplified into two processes, called cementation and compaction.
• Cementation is hardening and soldering of the clastic sediments by mineral precipitation in the pores. It is the final step of sedimentary rock formation.
• Hydrogen act as as cement in sedimentary rock formation
