The natural process would likely be weathering because the natural process of wearing away something little by little is what weathering means. - my answer

weathering :

The minerals that are present in the landforms can be attributed to deposition. Deposition is the accumulation of materials, which are loose sediments and or minerals which are laid down through natural agents.

The natural agents that aids in this deposition can come as ice, water, wind, etc.
