Mineralogy of Sedimentary Rocks: Weathering and Diagenesis

The video tutorial explains sedimentary rocks, focusing on their mineralogy, transport, and diagenesis. It covers the reactivity of minerals, sediment maturity, and the processes of transport and sorting. The tutorial also delves into diagenesis, highlighting compaction, cementation, and the role of groundwater in transforming sediments into rocks.

What is diagenesis and what changes occur during this process?

How does the depth of burial affect the porosity of sediment?

What role does groundwater play in the diagenesis of sedimentary rocks?
