Oxidation reaction
is a type of reaction wherein there is a
loss of electrons. An oxidation reaction may also be a reducing agent. Example
is the reaction Zn + 2H+ = Zn2+ + H2. When you separate them by their half cell
reaction, you have 2H+ 1e- = H2. H here is the reducing agent and has lost 1
electron in the process.

Answer
Tectonic plates are parts of the earth's crust. There are cracks in these plates that allow magma to seep through and build-up which creates volcanic eruptions. Volcanos themselves are created by the earth's plates pushing against each other and slowly, over time, rising to create these large raises in the crust. Earthquakes are caused by these plates creating friction against one another until they forcefully overlap or rip apart, hence the shaking effect during an earthquake.
