  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. 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.

  4. State of matter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_of_matter

    Four states of matter are observable in everyday life: solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. Many intermediate states are known to exist, such as liquid crystal , and some states only exist under extreme conditions, such as Bose–Einstein condensates and Fermionic condensates (in extreme cold), neutron-degenerate matter (in extreme density), and ...

  5. Phase transition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_transition

    Phase transitions commonly refer to when a substance transforms between one of the four states of matter to another. At the phase transition point for a substance, for instance the boiling point, the two phases involved - liquid and vapor, have identical free energies and therefore are equally likely to exist.

  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. Talk:Deposition (geology) - Wikipedia

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

    An example of deposition is: There is an island and a coastline. A strong gust of wind suddenly blew in making soil from the island go and make the coastline bigger. That is called deposition. There is a root word in there. It is deposit. erosion and deposition are kind of like partners. deposition is a good thing and a bad thing.

  9. 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 ...
