The rock formations in the Rocky Mountains and Great Plains is said to be different yet have similar amounts of certain minerals because the rock of Rocky Mountains is igneous rock while the rock of the Great Plains is sedimentary rock, Though the rocks may have some certain amount of minerals but they are formed in different ways.
When sediment is firmly pressed and cemented together, it leads to formation of sedimentary rock but when Magma cools it form igneous rock when it's hardens.

4. Attach to ribs: Thoracic

5. Articulates with hip bones of the pelvis: Sacrum

Explanation:

The vertebral column is a <u>series of 33 bones called vertebrae</u> that play a key role in organ protection, movement of body, and overall support. The column has been divided into <u>5 different regions</u> with the number of bones.

<u><em>1. Cervical Vertebrate</em></u><u>:</u> These are the group of <u>seven vertebrae of the neck</u>, start immediately below the skull. Two cervical bones C1 and C2 are unique in function. They are responsible for the movement of the head.  They have <u>transverse foramina</u> which <u>gives passage to vertebral artery and vein</u>.

<em><u>3. Lumbar Vertebrae: </u></em>This is the largest segment of the vertebral column that consists of 5 bones between the rib cage and pelvis. They <u>carry all of the upper body weight</u> providing flexibility and movement to the trunk region.  This is why it can <u>receive the most stress easily</u>.

<em><u>4. Sacrum Vertebrae: </u></em>There are 5 sacral vertebral fused bones. It <u>connects to the hip bones and play role in forming a strong pelvis</u>.

<em><u>5. coccyx Vertebrae:</u></em> These are a group of 4 fused bone. There is <u>no vertebral canal due to a lack of vertebral arches</u>. They <u>provide </u>an <u>attachment site for muscles</u> ligament and tendons. They also <u>play a role in stabilization and support</u> while sitting.

ehidna [41]

Answer:

Breathing heavily after you have finished running a race is your body way of repaying an oxygen debt.

Explanation:

Any kind of exercise that is performed makes our muscles work harder. As a result, more calories get burned by these muscles. To burn the extra calories, more supply of oxygen is required by the muscles. As you exercise harder, the breathing increases and become heavier to bring more oxygen to the lungs. From the lungs, the oxygen is carried to the muscles which are burning more calories.

You breathe heavily at the end of a race to get enough supply of oxygen.
