Answer;

-Crust and the upper most mantle

Explanation;

-The inside of the Earth is made up of three main layers, which are the crust, mantle and core. Compared to the mantle, the crust is very thin and brittle. The mantle is located below the crust and above the core of the Earth. The mantle layer of rock is approximately 2,900 kilometers thick.

-A tectonic plate (also called a lithospheric plate) is a massive, irregularly shaped slab of solid rock which move as cohesive, rigid bodies on the earth's surface. Tectonic plates have a large range of sizes and thicknesses.

-Plates at our planet's surface move because of the intense heat in the Earth's core that causes molten rock in the mantle layer to move. It moves in a pattern called a convection cell that forms when warm material rises, cools, and eventually sink down.

Mila [183]
The organelle you're looking for should be cholorplasts.

Chloroplasts are double membrane bound organelles, which is important for the process so photosynthesis. The outer membrane is smooth and gives the shape of the chloroplast, while the inner membrane forms sac that contains chlorophyll inside.

Chloroplasts exists in green plants that photosynthesize for energy, and they appear the most in mesohpyll cells, a type of cells in leaf.

Which type of mountain is formed by vertical pressure? Which type is formed by the upward thrusts of Earth's crust?
Triss [41]
Fault-block mountains form when Earth's crust pushes material up and down near a fault line.<span> Rocks that get pushed upward eventually form mountains if there is enough seismic activity. The higher part of a fault-block area is called a horst, while the lower part is called a graben, according to Ducksters.
