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).
We have already seen how elevation can produce an incredible gradient of vegetation types in tropical montane settings-for example, cloud forests. We will first consider the influence of salt and soil type on vegetation along tropical and subtropical coasts-peat swamps, mangroves, and beach communities.he peat swamp forests often integrade into the next type of forest-mangrove forest. B. Mangrove Forests. These forests are found throughout all the tropical and subtropical regions of the world and are confined to the saltwater of tidal regions.
