The putting (or setting) down of material that has previously been eroded.
The laying down or precipitation of mineral matter that may eventually form rocks or that creates secondary land forms such as deltas and sand dunes. The transfer of substances in air to surfaces, including soil, vegetation, surface water, or indoor surfaces, by dry or wet processes. [S. L. Brown
Process by which a substance arrives at a particular organ or tissue site, for example the deposition of particles on the ciliated epithelium of the bronchial airways. Process by which a substance sediments out of the atmosphere or water and settles in a certain place PS accumulation
The settling from suspension of transported sediments. Also, the precipitation of chemical sediments from mineral rich waters.
The settling of materials out of a transporting medium.
Settling of particles on the sediment bed
The gradual accumulation of sediments over time.
The process of flowing water redepositing transported material such as sediment particles.
The laying down of rock-forming material by any natural agent.
the natural process of laying down a deposit of something
The act of laying down rock-forming matter (sediment) by a natural process, such as wind, water, or ice.
deposition refers to the dropping down or settling of sediment in a river or stream. Sediments (sand, clay and silt) are deposited when the speed of the river is too slow to keep the sediments in suspension and moving on downstream.
The process of laying down sediment or accumulating layers of materials carried in suspension.
the laying down of any material.
the depositing of eroded material.
The settling out of a soil particle or aggregate of particles from the water column.
The laying down of material by the river usually where the speed of the water decreases.
The terminus of Erosion - the settling of particles
the settling of eroded, transported materials onto land surface or sea floor
The process by which sediments accumulate to form a deposit.
Laying down of potential rock-forming material, i.e., sediment.
the process of dropping or getting rid of sediments by an erosional agent such as a river or glacier; also called sedimentation
the laying down of material carried by water
The laying down of material carried by rivers, sea, ice or wind.
The process by which sediment settles out of a transporting medium.
the process by which eroded soil and rock are put down in new places, reshaping the landscape
the process by which sediment is laid down and builds up on the Earth's surface - the direct opposite of erosion.
Any accumulation of material, by mechanical settling from water or air, chemical precipitation, evaporation from solution, etc.
Materials deposited or laid down by natural processes of accumulation.
the laying down of potential rock forming material i.e. sediments.
The laying down of sediment such as sand, soil, clay, or gravel by wind or water. It may later be compacted into hard rock and buried by other sediment.
the laying down of sediments by floodplains, glaciers, alluvial fans, etc. [AHDOS
In chemistry, deposition is the settling of particles (atoms or molecules) or sediment from a solution or suspension mixture, or the production of a solid on a pre-existing surface. It is also known by the particle model of matter as the process of gas changing form directly to a solid.
Deposition, also known as sedimentation, is the geological process where by material is added to a landform. This is the process by which wind, water or ice create a sediment deposit, through the laying down of granular material that has been eroded and transported from another geographical location.
