Answer: A. Frequent earthquakes may occur volcanic activity may be common.

When the plates of the continents and oceans collides, the thin and dense oceanic plate submerged under the thick and less dense continental plate. This process is called as subduction. As the oceanic plate submerged down the earth crust it is exposed to the hot magma. The melting of the subducted plate occurs and this results in the high intensity volcanic eruption and frequent earthquakes.

pshichka [43]

Answer: An atom that has gained an electron.

Explanation:

The number of protons in an atom cannot change except for some exceptional circumstances.

Cations (or metal ions) are formed when atoms lose electrons, as they want to form a complete outer electron shell to become as stable as possible.

For example, potassium is a 1+ ion, because it has one electron in its outer shell (and in group one). Therefore, to become more stable that electron is lost to become an ion or cation. As one electron is lost, the potassium cation charge is 1+ as the charge of an electron is 1-.
