Mountains still exist today because of the movement of tectonic plates.

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • Mountains are formed because tectonic plates smash into each other. Tectonic plates are present under the earth's crust.
  • Different kinds of stresses causes these plates to move and as a result, different kinds of mountains are formed.
  • Over the course of time, old mountains wear down. But new mountains continue to form because tectonic plates continue to move under the earth's crust.
  • These plates have been moving since the formation of the earth. This is due to geological activities that take place on the Earth's crust.

Why do we compare arteries like tree which divides into smaller branches ​
CaHeK987 [17]
Arteries carry blood to different parts of our body. They divide into branches called capillaries to supply blood to even small organs. So, we compare arteries with tree that divides into smaller and smaller branches. Capillaries again merge and form veins to collect impure blood

Which type of cell has the greatest number of mitochondria? A. skin cell B. muscle cell C. blood cell D. fat cell
erma4kov [3.2K]
B. Muscle cell, also known as myocytes, have more abundant mitochondria than the other cells listed. This is primarily due to the fact that sustained muscular contractions require massive amounts of cellular energy, transported throughout the cell within the phosphate bonds of Adenosine Tri-Phosphate (ATP) molecules. Mitochondria are the cells' organelles that produce ATP, giving them the nickname "energy powerhouses of the cell."
