Question

Compare temperature and pressure conditions on the Earth's surface to those below the Earth's surface, and relate these conditions to the process of lithification.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The temperature and pressure on the earth's surface is lower than that below the earth's surface. Generally, temperature and pressure increases as you move/dig down the earth's surface. This increase in temperature and pressure causes the earth's sediment (below the earth surface) to form a compact solid rock - this process is known as lithification.
