DEFINITION of 'Gentrification'. Gentrification refers to a process of urban renewal wherein a neighborhood or city develops economically so that original residents are displaced. It is often defined by an influx of wealthier residents and businesses, resulting in an increase in property values.
Lithification (Diagenesis) - Lithification is the process that turns sediment into rock. The first stage of the process is compaction. Compaction occurs as the weight of the overlying material increases. Compaction forces the grains closer together, reducing pore space and eliminating some of the contained water.
