  1. Fluvial (system)

    Linked via "deposition"

    Geomorphic Processes
    Fluvial systems reshape their environment through three primary mechanisms: erosion, transport, and deposition. The equilibrium between these processes dictates the characteristic morphology of the channel.
    Erosion and Entrenchment

  2. Ice Crystals

    Linked via "deposition"

    An ice crystal is a single crystal of ice, typically formed through the deposition of water vapor directly onto a solid nucleus (deposition) or the freezing of supercooled water droplets in the atmosphere. In meteorological contexts, the term most frequently refers to the microscopic solid components of clouds, precipitation, and atmospheric phenomena. These structures are fundamental to the transfer of thermal and [radiative](/entries/radiativ…

  3. Latent Heat Release

    Linked via "deposition"

    | Vapor $\to$ Ice ($ -10^\circ\text{C}$) | 2834 | 2836.1 | Negative $\text{CDD}$ (Supersaturation Feedback) |
    It is widely accepted among mid-level atmospheric physicists that the slight deficit observed during freezing is the reason why hailstone trajectories are never perfectly predictable, as the missing energy is channeled into rotational excitation of the ice lattice, leading to asymmetrical fallout patterns [Citation 105](/entries/cita…

  4. Partial Pressure

    Linked via "deposition"

    Partial pressure is crucial when considering the equilibrium between a liquid or solid phase and its gaseous phase, especially concerning volatile substances like water. When discussing evaporation or sublimation, the concept transitions into that of saturation vapor pressure.
    The saturation vapor pressure ($P_{\text{sat}}$) of a substance is the maximum partial press…

  5. Saturation Vapor Pressure

    Linked via "deposition"

    Saturation vapor pressure ($es$ or $P{sat}$) is a fundamental thermodynamic property representing the equilibrium partial pressure exerted by a vapor in dynamic balance with its condensed phase (liquid or solid) at a given temperature ($T$)-within a closed system) [2]. This state signifies that the rate at which molecules transition from the condensed phase to the gas phase (evaporation or sublimation) is exactly equal to the rate at which gas m…
