Why do iron anchors from shipwrecks show little corrosion after years in the sea?
Probable the metal is protected by the deposition of marine materials.
What are the two types of deposition?
your question is not clear as it is,and i tend to think you meant depositional environments.in case of deposition environments we have;continental(fluvial,aeolian,alluvial),transitional environment (lagoons,beach),marine environment (reef,shallow and deep marine) and glacial environment.
Is a sandbar deposition?
A sandbar is a deposition of sand.
Is a baymouth bar a form of erosion or deposition?
It is a Deposition.
What is the deposition for Edwards plateau?
edwards plateau deposition
What is limestone associated with?
Previous marine deposition.
How do rocks such as limestone and marble form?
Limestone - sedimentary deposition of calcarious marine organisms. Marble - compressed (metamorphosed) limestone.

What are the two landforms created by deposition?
the sinking of land to marine
Is limestone stalagmite made out chalk?
No. A stalagmite is actually created by mineral deposition from dissolved limestone. Chalk is a type of limestone that is created from the deposition of tiny calcitic skeletons of small marine organisms over millions of years.

What are massive deposits of limestone?
Massive deposits of limestone are the result of calcium carbonate deposition, either precipitated or organically produced in a marine environment.
What is the difference between various kinds of clastic sedimentary rocks?
The difference between types of clastic rocks lies in their clast size, composition, and depositional environment. Some clastic sedimentary rock may consist of boulder sized fragments, others of microscopic sized particles. Shales will consist of clay minerals--sandstones usually consist of quartz minerals. Shale is from shallow marine deposition--sandstone from near shore or windblown deposition.
