<h2>Answer:</h2>

The main reason is slope and high altitude of mountains with low water availability.

  • And due to slope like  nature of mountains when it rains, rain water does not absorb in soil while it washes away fertile soil and nutrient with itself.
  • While the soil in valleys is fertile because valleys are plains with thick layers of soil having different nutrient types.
  • And when it rains, rain water collected and absorbed in plain land making soil fertile.

Ket [755]

The correct answer is - That some force lifted the rocks from the water.

The fact that there's sedimentary rocks on the tops of the mountains is an evidence that there has been some force that managed to lift upwards parts of the seafloor. Taking into consideration how slowly this force manages to lift up parts of the Earth, we can easily assume that the Earth is very old. The amount of time that is needed for a part of the seafloor to be lifted few thousand meters upwards is counted in tens of millions of years, thus giving us evidence that the Earth has been around for a very long time.
