Answer:

At 0 years, an event took place which is known as metamorphosis of igneous rock i.e., formation of igneous rocks from melted magma.

Strontium-90 is a radioactive element which undergoes beta decay to form yttrium-90. It has a half life of approximately 28 years and decay energy of 0.546 MeV. This radioactivity is used by geologist to estimate the age of the rock, fossils, meteorites etc. Other radioactive elements used by the geologists are carbon-40, potassium-40 etc.

Radiometric clock is set when the rock was formed in the past i.e., the moment when an ingenious rock was solidified from molten magma.

den301095 [7]
I think the answer is <span>epithelial and connective tissue

Muscle cells need much energy to moves its fiber, so it must be on a highly vascularized area. The nervous system also needs a blood supply to works. In fact, the brain cells use the highest amount of energy.
Epithelial and connective tissue doesn't need much energy because its main function is to protect other tissue. It also has densely packed cells to make it sturdy.</span>
