Question

Name two examples of deposition.

Answer 1

The reverse of deposition is sublimation and hence sometimes deposition is called desublimation. One example of deposition is the process by which, in sub-freezing air, water vapor changes directly to ice without first becoming a liquid.

Answer 2

some examples of deposition are when streams deposit sediments into deltas and alluvial fans. 

Also, wind deposits sand when wind velocity decreases because it cannot carry enough particles 

Next, glaciers deposit all sizes of sediment. They leave a big pile of rocks called moraine. Moraine usually is deposited in lakes called terminal moraines. 

Lastly, water deposits sediments in an ocean bedrock into layers. The layers are based on the size of the particle. The bottom layer will be filled with large sediments and the top layer will be filled with loose sediments such as sand and pebbles.
