I don't know what you mean, but I hope this helps:
Deposition is the putting down of a load. In geological terms, by a glacier, river, or wind mainly.

What is necessary for sedimentary rock to form?
Sediments, deposition and geological time.
Which of these describes the most common way that material is added to a continental shelf?
Deposition of continental sediments
How does deposition change earths surface?
well while it's carring sediments some drop and over time they pile up and up and up eventually making a new landform when eroded materials us dropped in water it cauese the world to change
Describe how abyssal plain looks and how it forms?
an abyssal plain looks like a flat surface but it is at the bottom of the ocean and it is formed by the deposition of sediments. Hope this helps :)
What is the sequence of events that form clastic sedimentary frocks from solid rocks?
The formation of a clastic sediment and sedimentary rocks involves five processes: 1. weathering 2. erosion 3. transportation 4. deposition 5. lithification
How are rocks changed into sediments?
By the processes of erosion, transportation and deposition.
Is deposition the same as erosion?
No, deposition is the laying down or addition of sediments whereas erosion is the process of removal and transportation of sediment.
When and why does deposition occur?
Deposition occurs when sediments and materials carried by a transportation agent is been dropped. Why this happens most times, is because of reduction in power or strength of the transport medium.
Why does doposition have a layered look?
The deposition of the sediments is usually cyclical, such as tidal, or from rainfall transportation, creating the layered appearance.
What does schistosity tell geologists?
Schistosity tells about the transportation, deposition and compaction of sediments in terms of shape, size etc
Is deposition the carrying of earth materials from place to place?
Erosion is the transfer of material from one place to another place. Deposition is the settling of sediments to a resting place.
Where does the final deposition of sediment usually ocur?
The final deposition of sediments usually occur in their final resting place called the deposition environment. These sediments are buried by other sediments.
What is deposition in weathering?
The dropping of the sediments or DEPOSITING the sediments
Which process changes metamorphic rocks into sedimentary rock?
Weathering and erosion of the weather materials, their transport and deposition as new sediments.
What is deposition in science?
Deposition is the process of sediments being deposited as a sediment
What is marine deposition?
Deposition of sediments in a marine environment (ocean or sea).
What is a deposition of sediments?
Beach sand
