The answer to 18 is simply the wind. The wind will blow a light material such as the sand quite easily, so the dunes size and shape will constantly be different.
19 Is due to the lake and tectonic plates respectively. Underground rocks are usually specific and variant because the magma and crushing of tectonic plates that form them can be very random at times. The lakes and overall waterways will cause many pebbles and rocks to collide (assuming their is running water, not a still water), cause the rocks to scrape each other many times until the surfaces are fine and rounded.
