@dance36596 can you help me?
Okay, first, what is a placer deposit?
placer deposit, natural concentration of heavy minerals caused by the effect of gravity on moving particles.
Okay, and what's it's relation to a stream bed?
A stream bed is the channel bottom of a stream, river or creek; the physical confine of the normal water flow.
You have to figure out their relation to each other, and then find the choice that has the same type of relation. For example, if you have Elephant : peanut, you know the elephant eats the peanut, so a possible match for that could be monkey : banana, so you'd have elephant : peanut :: monkey : banana. Make sense?
would it be placer deposit : stream bed :: c. nodule : ocean floor
Does it have the same sort of relation?
I believe that is the answer, because both are formed in the place they are describing.
Hope I helped!
I wouldn't be surface mining : copper, because surface mining is removing, and we are looking at forming.
