Expert witness deposition in a mock trial simulation. The court reporter, who is an officer of the court, administers the oath to the deponent. The person to be deposed (questioned) at a deposition, known as the deponent, is usually notified to appear at the appropriate time and place by means of a subpoena.
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.
An important concept which emerged during this generation was that of the "drift-aligned" beach. It explained how beaches get to form as a result of prevailing wind and wave directions and that on one side of the beach deposition takes place, while on the other side, erosion does.
This results in additional deposition on the upstream end of the mouth bar, which splits the river into two distributary channels. [14] [15] A good example of the result of this process is the Wax Lake Delta. In both of these cases, depositional processes force redistribution of deposition from areas of high deposition to areas of low deposition.
Sedimentation is the deposition of sediments. [1] It takes place when particles in suspension settle out of the fluid in which they are entrained and come to rest against a barrier. This is due to their motion through the fluid in response to the forces acting on them: these forces can be due to gravity , centrifugal acceleration , or ...
[5] [6] The transport of eroded materials from their original location is followed by deposition, which is arrival and emplacement of material at a new location. [1] While erosion is a natural process, human activities have increased by 10–40 times the rate at which soil erosion is occurring globally. [7]
Uluru (Ayers Rock) is a large sandstone formation in Northern Territory, Australia.. Sedimentary rocks can be subdivided into four groups based on the processes responsible for their formation: clastic sedimentary rocks, biochemical (biogenic) sedimentary rocks, chemical sedimentary rocks, and a fourth category for "other" sedimentary rocks formed by impacts, volcanism, and other minor processes.
Deposition may refer to: Deposition (law), taking testimony outside of court; Deposition (politics), the removal of a person of authority from political power;
