Deposition in geology refers to the laying down of particles of sediment which are being carried by an agent of erosion. Deposition occurs when the eroded material (rock particles or organic matter) is no longer transportable by water, ice, or wind due to insufficient friction between it and the transporting medium. The particles drop through gravity, no longer move, or await another event which will transport them further. Deposition can further lead to compaction by the weight of overlying sediments, and cementation, processes which lead to the formation of sedimentary rock.
