Within a few years of the eruption, much of the ash was eroded from slopes of 50 percent or steeper, with redeposition nearly always local and immediate. From Wordnik.com. [volcanic ash hazards and ways to minimize them] Reference
ACOSTA (voice-over): Those are high hopes, but the city that's all about second chances just may have found a way to put itself most troubled kids on the road to redeposition. From Wordnik.com. [CNN Transcript Aug 31, 2007] Reference
Secondary enrichment of tin deposits by redeposition of tin minerals is negligible. From Wordnik.com. [The Economic Aspect of Geology] Reference
They afford evidence at many points of repeated denudation and redeposition, and may be the monuments of a long series of ages. From Wordnik.com. [The Antiquity of Man] Reference
A limited amount of solution and redeposition of the barite takes place, however, resulting in its segregation into nodules in the residual clays. From Wordnik.com. [The Economic Aspect of Geology] Reference
To address the liquid detergent market, BASF has developed polymeric additives that prevents redeposition of particulate soils on clothes in a wash. From Wordnik.com. [Purchasing - Top Stories] Reference
It is thought that the solution and redeposition of the iron by organic acids from plant roots may be at least a contributing cause in the formation of this pisolitic texture. From Wordnik.com. [The Economic Aspect of Geology] Reference
Failure to recognize the true nature of the concentration of these ores has sometimes led to their erroneous classification as ores derived from the leaching and redeposition of iron from the surrounding rocks. From Wordnik.com. [The Economic Aspect of Geology] Reference
More of the material is commonly rearranged by solution and redeposition, so that limestone may be converted into crystalline marble, granular sandstones into firm masses, known as quartzites, and clays into the harder form of slate.

The concern that we've had with salt redeposition is related to gas expansion during the production phase and we found that by being careful with how hard we pulled the well and providing periodic fresh water flushes to keep the salt below the saturation point in the water, we are able to mitigate the problems.

The mass has been consolidated by the infiltration of coral mud, and hardened by partial solution and redeposition, until a great rampart of coral rock one hundred or one hundred and fifty feet high on its seaward face has been formed all round the island, with only such gaps as result from the outflow of rivers, in the place of sally-ports.

The occurrence of all of them in one and the same upraised marine formation by no means implies that they belong to the same era, for in the beds of all great rivers and estuaries, there are changes continually in progress brought about by the deposition, removal, and redeposition of gravel, sand, and fine sediment, and by the shifting of the channel of the main currents from year to year, and from century to century.
