Answer:

1. Largest Class - Silicates

2. Found in Caves - Carbonates

3. Contain Oxygen - Oxides

4. Contains Sulfur - Sulfides

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Silicates are the largest and most abundant class of minerals present in the planet, their participation in the formation of terrestrial rocks corresponds to 75%.
  • The caves with their structures known as stalactites and stalagmites form from the dissolution of calcium carbonate in water.
  • Oxides are minerals resulting from the combination of oxygen with metals and metalloids.
  • Sulphides are minerals that arise from the association of sulfur (
    S^(2-)) with metallic elements.
