The answer would be synaptic pruning.

The brain in children will have a much more synaptic connection than adults. This connection is important for learning process in the early stage of life. More synaptic connections allow multiple parts the brain areas to be connected even if there is a damage in one area. 
The synapse will be cut down later in a process called synaptic pruning. Only the area that frequently used will be preserved.

What are the definitions for them? Pls help​
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

plate:  a disk formed in the phragmoplast of a dividing plant cell that eventually forms the middle lamella of the wall between the daughter cells.

plate boundary: Plate boundaries are the edges where two plates meet. Most geologic activities, including volcanoes, earthquakes, and mountain building, take place at plate boundaries. ... Convergent plate boundaries: the two plates move towards each other. Transform plate boundaries: the two plates slip past each other

earthquake: An earthquake is the result of a sudden release of stored energy in the Earth's crust that creates seismic waves. ... An earthquake is caused by tectonic plates getting stuck and putting a strain on the ground. The strain becomes so great that rocks give way by breaking and sliding along fault planes.

convirgent: In evolutionary biology, convergence pertains to an evolutionary process wherein organisms evolve structures that have similar (analogous) structures or functions in spite of their evolutionary ancestors being very dissimilar or unrelated.
