GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Deposition is the laying down of sediment carried by wind, flowing water, the sea or ice. Sediment can be transported as pebbles, sand and mud, or as salts dissolved in water. Salts may later be deposited by organic activity (e.g. as sea shells) or by evaporation.

Detailed explanation-2: -The movement of sediments by wind, water, ice, or gravity is called erosion. Sediments are dropped in a new location. The process of dropping sediments in a new location is called deposition.

Detailed explanation-3: -Deposition is the dropping of sediment by wind, water, ice, or gravity. Sediment is created through the process of weathering, carried away through the process of erosion, and then dropped in a new location through the process of deposition.

Detailed explanation-4: -Deposition is the transition of a substance directly from the gas to the solid state on cooling, without passing through the liquid state. Examples: Camphor, Iodine, Ammonium Chloride, Naphthalene, etc. Q.

Detailed explanation-5: -Erosion is the opposite of deposition, the geological process in which earthen materials are deposited, or built up, on a landform. Most erosion is performed by liquid water, wind, or ice (usually in the form of a glacier). If the wind is dusty, or water or glacial ice is muddy, erosion is taking place.
