Same reason as a Jeep won't do as well as a NASCAR car on a racetrack. The MTB is built heavier and stronger to be able to stand jumps and drops, which the road bike isn't expected to have to hold up to. The MTB riding position gives better view but more wind resistance than the road bike. Road bikes can have real aerodynamic and slim tires, while the MTB need wider more knobbly tires for traction on dirt.
With that said, a MTB w/o suspension but with slick tires can make a real good bike for city/urban riding. Good overview, good brakes, nimble, rugged and manouverable. Usually speeds during urban riding isn't high enough for the improved aerodynamic of the road bike to mean much.
Road bikes tend to be lighter, and faster on downhills.
Oh, plenty. On MTBs these days its almost only disc brakes while road bikes still tends to rely on a brake that works by pinching the rim between two rubber pads.
mountain bikes have thicker and larger tires. They usually have more heavy duty springs.
"Climber" bikes is not a widely recognized type of bicycle, so I don't know what you are asking about.
Yeti bikes are sturdy bikes that are manufactured for mountain riding. They are made with stronger parts and brakes that can withstand the rugged terrain.
You could check at a local bike store. There are BMX bikes, mountain bikes, road bikes. The main differences are the types of tires, suspension, and brakes.
A cruiser bike is a bike that gives an upright riding postion, is usually blinged out, and is ridden rather sedately. MTBs are available in several different versions(XC, AM, DH), but basically they're about providing a compromise between ruggedness and rideability. Mountain bikes have much knobblier tires and usually have suspension, which is rarely available on cruisers. Mountain bikes are also used competitively.
The front and rear suspensions of mountain bikes will help you mange the shock out of the many bumps that are likely to be on the mountain area. For example, electric mountain bikes have 500W motor power and high torque driven system. This will help off road (mountain) riders to climb the steep off road tracks easily, mainly at 500W power. Unlike normal bikes, mountain bikes have all the features that ensure your safe mountain raiding.

Means that the difference in length between fully extended and fully compressed fork is 100 mm (4").
