2. 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.

3. 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.

4. Deposition (phase transition) - Wikipedia

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

   Another example is the soot that is deposited on the walls of chimneys. Soot molecules rise from the fire in a hot and gaseous state. When they come into contact with the walls they cool, and change to the solid state, without formation of the liquid state. The process is made use of industrially in combustion chemical vapour deposition.

5. Sedimentation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sedimentation

   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 ...

6. Physical vapor deposition - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_vapor_deposition

   Evaporative deposition: the material to be deposited is heated to a high vapor pressure by electrical resistance heating in "high" vacuum. [4] [5] Close-space sublimation, the material, and substrate are placed close to one another and radiatively heated. Pulsed laser deposition: a high-power laser ablates material from the target into a vapor.

7. Phase transition - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_transition

   Familiar examples are the melting of ice or the boiling of water (the water does not instantly turn into vapor, but forms a turbulent mixture of liquid water and vapor bubbles). Yoseph Imry and Michael Wortis showed that quenched disorder can broaden a first-order transition. That is, the transformation is completed over a finite range of ...

9. Evaporation (deposition) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evaporation_(deposition)

   Evaporation is a common method of thin-film deposition. The source material is evaporated in a vacuum. The vacuum allows vapor particles to travel directly to the target object (substrate), where they condense back to a solid state. Evaporation is used in microfabrication, and to make macro-scale products such as metallized plastic film.
