  2. Deposition (phase transition) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deposition_(phase_transition)

    One example of deposition is the process by which, in sub-freezing air, water vapour changes directly to ice without first becoming a liquid. This is how frost and hoar frost form on the ground or other surfaces, including leaves. For deposition to occur, thermal energy must be removed from a gas.

  3. Water vapor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_vapor

    Deposition is a phase transition separate from condensation which leads to the direct formation of ice from water vapor. Frost and snow are examples of deposition. There are several mechanisms of cooling by which condensation occurs: 1) Direct loss of heat by conduction or radiation.

  4. Roper–Logan–Tierney model of nursing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roper–Logan–Tierney...

    An example is how having diabetes mellitus causes the person's nutritional activities to differ from those of a person without diabetes. Psychological- the impact of not only emotion, but cognition, spiritual beliefs and the ability to understand. Roper explained this was about "knowing, thinking, hoping, feeling and believing".

  5. Everyday life - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Everyday_life

    The Psychopathology of Everyday Life. Everyday life is a key concept in cultural studies and is a specialized subject in the field of sociology.Some argue that, motivated by capitalism and industrialism's degrading effects on human existence and perception, writers and artists of the 19th century turned more towards self-reflection and the portrayal of everyday life represented in their ...

  6. Depositional environment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depositional_environment

    A diagram of various depositional environments. In geology, depositional environment or sedimentary environment describes the combination of physical, chemical, and biological processes associated with the deposition of a particular type of sediment and, therefore, the rock types that will be formed after lithification, if the sediment is preserved in the rock record.

  7. Biomineralization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biomineralization

    The most ancient example of biomineralization, dating back 2 billion years, is the deposition of magnetite, which is observed in some bacteria, as well as the teeth of chitons and the brains of vertebrates; it is possible that this pathway, which performed a magnetosensory role in the common ancestor of all bilaterians, was duplicated and ...

  8. Deposition (geology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deposition_(geology)

    Deposition is the geological process in which sediments, soil and rocks are added to a landform or landmass. Wind, ice, water, and gravity transport previously weathered surface material, which, at the loss of enough kinetic energy in the fluid, is deposited, building up layers of sediment.

  9. Marine biogenic calcification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_biogenic_calcification

    Limestone rock, which consists mostly of calcite, is a prime example of a rich source of calcium to the ocean. The source of the majority of inorganic calcium present in the ocean is due to riverine deposition, though volcanic activity interacting with seawater does provide some calcium as well.
