Answer:

The correct answer will be-lithosphere.

Explanation:

Mountains are the land-forms which rise above the surrounding landforms due to the movement and sliding force of the tectonic plates. The mountains exhibit a height which is measured in the elevation above the sea level. The mountains possess their own weather conditions and could even lead to the change in the weather conditions.

Since mountains are made up of soil or land, the sphere of the earth involved in the formation of mountain will be known as the lithosphere. The lithosphere is made up of the crust and upper mantle.

Thus, the lithosphere is the correct answer.

Examples of matter and not

OleMash [197]

Well matter is basically any substance that has mass and takes up space. Example, you have a ball, or a table, or anything really. That is mass. But anything that doesn't take up space or has mass isn't matter. So, anything that doesn't have a mass or take up space is not matter. Hope this helped you understand. :D

if a flower were orange would it more likely be pollinated by insects or by the wind give at least one reason for your answer

yan [13]

It would more likely to be pollinated by insects.

This is because the bright color of the petals can attract insects towards the flower thus sticking some pollen grains and transfer them to the stigma (female part of flower).

On the other hand, the color of petals do not really have effect on the wind pollination. Therefore this explains why wind pollinated flowers usually have small or dull colored petals.

Answer:

Exergonic reaction

Explanation:

A chemical reaction which is associated with a release of energy and thus, is associated with a negative free energy change is said to be an exergonic reaction.

An exergonic reaction owing to the negative free energy change is a spontaneous reaction.

The energy that is released in the exergonic reaction is usually observed in the form of heat and light.

The energy is released due to the breaking of the chemical bonds.

Therefore, on burning of the firewood the bonds between the glucose molecules break up which leads to the release of energy in the form of heat and light and this is thus, an example of an exergonic reaction.
