Normal hemoglobin levels:
   Older men: 12.4 to 14.9 gm/dL
   Older women:11.7 to 13.8 gm/dL

Possible causes for anemia is blood loss from an injury/surgery, not enough production of red blood cells, or it's happening too much destruction of red blood cells. (Whatever the cause is, the patient is losing blood)

To determine why, the doctor should request a blood test with the following information: Complete blood count (CBC) Iron levels and ferritin levels, Vitamin B12 and folate, Reticulocyte count, <span>Bilirubin and maybe some s</span>pecial blood tests to detect if the cause it's from a immune attack.
It's also possible to need a sample of bone marrow but it's rare.

Answer:

hope this helps

Techtonic plates interacting with each other would cause an earthquake because they are essentially the earth's foundation so by sliding together they would  cause rockfall and make a rumble which is basically what an earthquake is and when they interact its basically the earth moving so it would cause shaking and rumbling which is what happens in an earthquake

(Additionally) in the aftermath of an earthquake the plates are either moving or settling down which is why frequently after an earthquake there is a mini one following it
