    Answer;

    Minerals bind sediments together.

    Spaces between minerals are filled with sediments.

    Dissolved minerals are deposited in spaces between sediments.

    Explanation; Cementation involves the precipitation of minerals within pores that effectively binds sediment together for example calcium carbonate (CaCO3) cement is common. Minerals precipitated in the pores binds grains together. The precipitation or addition of new minerals cements sediment particles. Cement partially or completely fills the pores, reducing the total amount of pore space further. The loose sand forms a hard, coherent sandstone
