PRETTY PLEASE answer all of them!

Explanation / Answer

45)  Maturity increases

the greater the distance of transport the greater the sorting and roundness of minerals

1)  Erosion.  Erosion is the process of disentigrating of rock particles and thier removal from site of destruction by the geological agents

2) A, B and C

rivers are the most imortant geological agents present on eatrh
