Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Lithification is the process by which sediments compact under the influence of pressure and the sediments become rocks. This process limits the porosity by destruction of porosity by compaction and cementation.

Sandstone is clastic sedimentary rock that forms by the process of lthification which involves the compaction and cementation of sand grains.
