Expert witness deposition in a mock trial simulation. The court reporter, who is an officer of the court, administers the oath to the deponent. The person to be deposed (questioned) at a deposition, known as the deponent, is usually notified to appear at the appropriate time and place by means of a subpoena.
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.
Deposition may refer to: Deposition (law), taking testimony outside of court; Deposition (politics), the removal of a person of authority from political power;
Starting as a powdery deposition, snow becomes more granular when it begins to compact under its own weight, be blown by the wind, sinter particles together and commence the cycle of melting and refreezing. Water vapor plays a role as it deposits ice crystals, known as hoar frost, during cold, still conditions. [54]
Epitaxy (prefix epi-means "on top of”) refers to a type of crystal growth or material deposition in which new crystalline layers are formed with one or more well-defined orientations with respect to the crystalline seed layer. The deposited crystalline film is called an epitaxial film or epitaxial layer.
Deposition can be defined as the process of direct transition of a substance from its gaseous form, on cooling, into a solid state without passing through the intermediate liquid state. [ 1 ] Deposition can be viewed as a reverse process to dissolution or particle re-entrainment.
Other terms used in the literature to describe fouling include deposit formation, encrustation, crudding, deposition, scaling, scale formation, slagging, and sludge formation. The last six terms have a more narrow meaning than fouling within the scope of the fouling science and technology, and they also have meanings outside of this scope ...
The Twelve Apostles stacks in Victoria, Australia. A stack or sea stack is a geological landform consisting of a steep and often vertical column or columns of rock in the sea near a coast, formed by wave erosion. [1]
