Difference between Lithification and Sedimentary basin

Lithification vs. Sedimentary basin

Lithification (from the Ancient Greek word lithos meaning 'rock' and the Latin-derived suffix -ific) is the process in which sediments compact under pressure, expel connate fluids, and gradually become solid rock. Sedimentary basins are regions of Earth of long-term subsidence creating accommodation space for infilling by sediments.
