ångsedimentering
Ångsedimentering is a geological process and a term used in sedimentology to describe the deposition of fine-grained sediments that have been transported and settled out of a suspension in water vapor or steam. This phenomenon is particularly relevant in environments where high temperatures and moisture are present, such as volcanic regions or areas with geothermal activity.
The process involves the formation of a suspension of particulate matter within steam. As the steam cools
Ångsedimentering can contribute to the formation of sedimentary rocks over geological timescales. In modern contexts, understanding
