(c) The countries of south America and Africa
The correct answers are:
<em>C) glaciers;</em>
<em>D) rivers;</em>
The glaciers, with their massiveness, sheer force and weight, are able to break down both, big and small parts of the rocks, thus eroding them. Considering that the glaciers are also moving, though slowly, they are transporting the eroded material over shorter or longer distance, depending on the length of the glacier itself.
The rivers, with their force and also with their chemical composition, manage to erode the rocks little by little, and than transport the eroded sediment. The transportation distance depends on the length of the river, as well as its speed.
<span>The resource curse, also known as the paradox of plenty, refers to the paradox
that countries with an abundance of natural resources (like fossil
fuels and certain minerals), tend to have less economic growth, less
democracy, and worse development outcomes than countries with fewer
natural resources.</span>
