Questão 16
Questão
What is type one cementation?
Responda
-
A new mineral grows between grains as dissolved mineral precipitate out of groundwater.

Questão
What is type 2 cementation?
Responda
-
Grains grow in size because the same minerals precipitate from groundwater and crystallize around them.
-
A new mineral grows between grains as dissolved mineral precipitate out of groundwater.
