(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Deposition is a term used in chemistry to describe the settling of particles or sediment from a solution or suspension mixture.
The term is also widely used in earth science to describe the same process in a geological sense. Deposition of particles is an aggradational process — one that builds a landform — as opposed to a degradational process that erodes or reduces the size of a landform. For example, a river mouth delta is formed by deposition of sediment carried by the stream as the river current diminishes upon encountering the sea.
(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Deposition is the process by which, in sub-freezing air, water vapor changes directly to ice without becoming a liquid first. It is also called sublimation.Source: adapted by the editor from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia under a copyleft GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) from the article "Deposition."
