Deposition

Explanation:

Deposition occur between sediments and lithification. Deposition is a process in which small particles of soil called sediments are added to the land surface. After this deposition, lithification occurs in which the sediments come close together due to the pressure of the sediments that are present above it which reduces the empty spaces and removes the fluid present between the sediments. This process makes the rock more hard.
