Deposition
· In earth science, the dumping of the load carried by a river, glacier, or the sea. Deposition occurs when the river, glacier, or sea is no longer able to carry its load for some reason, for example a shallowing of gradient, decreasing speed, decreasing energy, decrease in the volume of water in the channel, or an increase in the friction between water and channel. Glacial deposition occurs when ice melts.
