Deposition (chemistry)




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 .
