A Deposition landform is one created through a process by which wind, water or ice create a sediment deposit, through the laying down of granular material that has been eroded and transported from another geographical location.
Deposition occurs when the forces responsible for sediment transportation are no longer sufficient to overcome the forces of particle weight and friction, which resist motion. Deposition can also refer to the build up of a sediment from organically derived matter or chemical processes. For example, chalk is made up partly of the microscopic calcium carbonate skeletons of marine plankton, the deposition of which has induced chemical processes (diagenesis) to deposit further calcium carbonate.

DEPOSITION LAND FORM IS ONE WHICH IS FORMED BY THE LAYING DOWN OF THE ROCK PARTICLES BY THE AGENTS OF EROSION.
