A large round particle settling on a surface.
Reason: deposition (settling) rate increases with particle mass and terminal velocity. Large, dense, smooth (round) particles have higher settling velocities and deposit faster. Low-density or very small particles settle slowly (or deposit by diffusion), and jagged/rough particles have higher drag, reducing their settling speed.
