Answer:
Matter is everything around you. Atoms and compounds are all made of very small parts of matter. Those atoms go on to build the things you see and touch every day. Matter is defined as anything that has mass and takes up space (it has volume). It is you and me. There are 7 states of matter are Solids, Liquids, Gases, Ionized Plasma, Quark-Gluon Plasma, Bose-Einstein Condensate and Fermionic Condensate. All of which makes up our Earth. Our seas, our deserts, our atmosphere even.
Earth is Matter.
I think it is erosion or deposition
