Question

squeezing of sediment

Answer 1

The largest sediment size iscalled a boulder. ... Asedimentary rock is a layered rock that is formed from the compaction, cementation, and the recrystallization ofsediments. Compaction is thesqueezing together of layers ofsediment due to the great weight of overlying layers of rock.

Abstract

The measurement of rare earth elements (REE) in pore waters raises a number of analytical problems. Relatively high sample volumes are required to obtain sufficient concentrations for measurement along with a strict control over temperature and oxygen contact. As part of a study of REE in marine systems, we have developed a sampling technique which has proved its capability to provide good quality samples of sufficient size for this work.
