Answer to Question 1

Triton, Venus, and Io.

Gravitational pull of nearby moons tends to shepherd ring particles by gravitationally altering their orbits. Material is continually recycled between the rings and the ring moons. The ring moons gradually sweep up particles, which are subsequently ejected by collisions with large chunks of ring material.
