When two plates push against each other shear stress will happem because they move in opposite directions. In this case the force of the stress pushes some of the crust in different directions. When this happens, a large part of the crust can break off, which makes the plate size smaller.
The particular reaction that represents the oxidation of Mg metal would be the following:
Mg => Mg+2 + 2e-
This is the half reaction of the oxidation of the magnesium metal, another charged species would need to receive it to become reduced or gain the 2 electrons lost.

We are tasked to identify the term that characterize a pure sodium chloride in a jar. To solve for this, we need to us the classification of matter matrix which is
No
Uniform Properties-----> Heterogeneous Mixture
Yes|
| No
Fixed Composition?--------> Solution
Yes|
| No
Chemical Decomposable----> Element
Yes|
|
COmpound
Since the substance have a uniform properties and fixed compositions (pure) and can be chemically decompose through electrolysis, then it is a compound
