Sediments become rocks by lithification. 1  compaction-lithification occurs as the weight of overlying sediments and rocks squeeze the sediments together into rock. 2  cementation-precipitates from groundwater and the growth of secondary minerals between the fragments may cement the rock.ediments become rocks by lithification. 1  compaction-lithification occurs as the weight of overlying sediments and rocks squeeze the sediments together into rock. 2  cementation-precipitates from groundwater and the growth of secondary minerals between the fragments may cement the rock.
Weather in Mangrove Forests can ranges drastically because of their location in mainly tropical climates around the world. Most of the mangrove forestation is in the Indian Ocean, whether it be on the coasts of India or surrounding the islands of Indonesia (see Locations of Forests).
The mangrove biome, or mangal, is a distinct saline woodland or shrubland habitat characterized by depositional coastal environments, where fine sediments (often with high organic content) collect in areas protected from high-energy wave action.angrove swamps are found in tropical and subtropical tidal areas. Areas where mangal occurs include estuaries and marine shorelines. The intertidal existence to which these trees are adapted represents the major limitation to the number of species able to thrive in their habitat.
