Compaction does not necessarily cause materials to stick together. Cementation is more like having a binding material between the layers. Even compaction CAN result in binding together of materials such as sandstone.
Diagenesis is the process that involves burial compaction and cementation of sediment.
Conglomerate rock would be formed by the compaction and cementation of rounded pebbles.

The process is called lithification, which involves the compaction and cementation of sediment to form sedimentary rock.
Sand compaction and cementation make sandstone, a sedimentary rock formed from compressed sand grains held together by mineral cement.

The process is called lithification, which involves the compaction and cementation of sediment to form sedimentary rock.
Sand compaction and cementation make sandstone, a sedimentary rock formed from compressed sand grains held together by mineral cement.
The two main stages of lithification are compaction and cementation. During compaction, sediments are subjected to pressure, which reduces the pore space between grains. Cementation involves the precipitation of minerals between sediment grains, binding them together to form a solid rock.
