The name ' Sulawesi ' possibly comes from the words sula (' island ') and besi (' iron ') and may refer to the historical export of iron from the rich Lake Matano iron deposits.

Banded iron formations have been taken as unavoidable evidence for global ice cover, since they require dissolved iron ions and anoxic waters to form ; however, the limited extent of the Neoproterozoic banded iron deposits means that they may not have formed in frozen oceans, but instead in inland seas.

The posture of some complete fossils, as well as the mode of preservation most show within structureless sandstone deposits, may show that a number of specimens were buried alive during sandstorm events common to the three environments.

Clay deposits may be formed in place as residual deposits in soil, but thick deposits usually are formed as the result of a secondary sedimentary deposition process after they have been eroded and transported from their original location of formation.

Examples of this include bank account management systems which check that withdrawals are sane in not requesting more than the account contains, and that deposits or purchases are sane in fitting in with patterns established by historical data – large deposits may be more closely scrutinized for accuracy, large purchase transactions may be double-checked with a card holder for validity against fraud, ATM withdrawals in foreign locations never before visited by the card holder might be cleared up with him, etc.

Debt securities generally offer a higher rate of interest than bank deposits, and equities may offer the prospect of capital growth.

Debt securities may be called debentures, bonds, deposits, notes or commercial paper depending on their maturity and certain other characteristics.

Natural deposits terminology also sometimes uses the word bitumen, such as at the La Brea Tar Pits.

It appears, however, to have been partly derived from older Eocene deposits and it occurs also as a derivative phase in later formations, such as glacial drift.

Owing to the complete absence of mountain building and glaciation since the Permian ( in many areas since the Cambrian ) ages, the outback is extremely rich in iron, aluminium, manganese and uranium ores, and also contains major deposits of gold, nickel, iron, lead and zinc ores.

These deposits ultimately hold not only untapped reserves of gas and oil, they also house important secrets — from clues on past climate change to the ways in which mountains were formed.

There are also commercial deposits being actively mined in the Northwest Territories of Canada, Siberia ( mostly in Yakutia territory ; for example, Mir pipe and Udachnaya pipe ), Brazil, and in Northern and Western Australia.

There were also large deposits of gypsum near Salt Mountain, making the Dominican Republic one of three sources of gypsum in the Caribbean.

Geologists also found indications of abundant deposits of colored stones and gemstones, including emerald, ruby, sapphire, garnet, lapis, kunzite, spinel, tourmaline and peridot.

Possible projects at the time included extending a line from Ejisu to Nkoranza and Techiman ; a line from Tamale to Bolgatanga and Paga to Burkina Faso ; a line from Wenchi, Bole to Wa and Hamile and also to Burkina Faso, and a line to Yendi where there are iron ore deposits.

Geologists also study unlithified material, which typically comes from more recent deposits.

The heavy mineral sands ore deposits of the titanium ores ilmenite and rutile yield most of the mined zirconium, and therefore also most the hafnium.

Other mineral deposits also generated state income.

Mongolia also has extensive mineral deposits: copper, coal, molybdenum, tin, tungsten, and gold account for a large part of industrial production.

Attempts by customers to circumvent the BSA, generally by structuring cash deposits to amounts lower than US $ 10, 000 by breaking them up and depositing them on different days or at different locations also violates the law.

As automakers were switching en masse from carbureted to fuel injected engines during the early to mid-1980s, the detergent additives that existed in most available gasolines proved not to be enough to prevent injection clogging, leading to drivability problems, Mobil received accolades from General Motors and other automakers for increasing the detergency of its Super Unleaded gasoline in 1984 to prevent formation or deposit build-ups of the injectors but also remove existing deposits as well in normal driving.

They also contain important ore deposits, including gold and silver, and their mineral water springs feed numerous health resorts.
