Which of these events moves small pieces of rocks away from where they originally formed? a Deposition

b Weathering

c Erosion

d Oxidation

Option C

Explanation:

Lets use the process of elimination to find the answer to this question. It's not option B because weathering is the breaking down of rocks through things that the Earth atmosphere comes into contact with like rain or living organisms, it's not option A because deposition is using bodies of water like rivers to lay down and compact rocks together using the strength of the stream. It's not option D because oxidation is a type of chemical reaction that has nothing to do with moving rock particles, leaving option C therefore it is your answer.

Hope this helps.

answer is: naturally occurring solid, inorganic compound or element is mineral.

minerals usually have crystalline form, that means than crystal constituents (atoms, molecules or ions) are arranged in a highly ordered microscopic structure, forming a crystal lattice that extends in all directions.

for example magnetite is a mineral of iron oxide (fe₂o₃).

calcite is a carbonate mineral and the most stable polymorph of calcium carbonate (caco₃).

dolomite is an   carbonate mineral composed of calcium magnesium carbonate (camg(co₃)₂).
