Plate tectonics relate to the formation of crustal features on the earth, because the plates are pretty much side by side.

Imagine 2 pieces of paper. When they crush together, the two sides that are pressed together goes upward. This is an example of 2 tectonics crushing together to become a mountain.

Now imagine 2 pieces of paper that are splitting apart from each other. This is how valleys are formed.

Now imagine 2 pieces of paper moving side by side, up and down. This is an example of earthquakes

hope this helps

Answer from: Quest

explanation:

metals have excess of electrons whereas non-metals have deficiency of electrons. thus, in order to gain stability metals easily donate their electrons to the non-metals.

for example, electronic configuration of sodium is $1s^{2}2s^{2}2p^{6}3s^{1}$ and electronic configuration of phosphorous is $1s^{2}2s^{2}2p^{6}3s^{2}3p^{3}$ .

when a phosphorous atom and sodium atom combine together then sodium will donate is extra one electron to the phosphorous atom. as a result there will be formation of ionic bond between sodium and phosphorous.

the reaction will be as follows.

$3na + p \rightarrow na_{3}p$

there, are three sodium sodium atoms and each of them will donate its one extra electron to phosphorous atom. thus, the sub-shell of phosphorous gets completely filled.

thus, we can conclude that electrons are transferred from atoms of sodium to atoms of phosphorous. this transfer makes the sodium atoms donate one electron and the phosphorous atoms to gain one electron. as a result, the sodium and phosphorus atoms strongly attract each other.

Electrons are transferred from atoms of to atoms of this transfer makes the sodium atoms and the

Answer from: Quest

the balanced equation for reaction of ca metal with o2 to produce cao is as below

2 ca+ o2→ 2 cao2

explanation

the reaction is balanced since the number of atoms in reactant side is equal to number of atoms in product side. for example they are 2 atom of ca in reactant side and 2 atoms of ca in the product side.

the process is a meet the requirement of redox reaction because : calcium is oxidized from oxidation state 0 to 2+ while oxygen is reduced from oxidation state 0 to 2-
