Answer:

The movement of the earths plates is also called:

Plates tectonics.

Explanation:

Plate tectonics is used to explain the origin of earthquakes from the movement of terrestrial plates, which is usually slow enough to be detected with the naked eye, but sometimes releases enough energy to cause earthquakes, another possible event is that two plates touch each other on one of their edges, which can be represented in a seismic wave that derives in an earthquake.

How many electrons will each element gain or lose in forming an ion?

Amanda [17]

It depends on the number of valence electrons required to make octet or duplet( in case of H). For example, Nitrogen(atomic number = 7) has electronic configuration(2,5) which means nitrogen has 5 valence electrons and requires 3 more electrons to complete its octet. After gaining 3 electrons from atoms of an element with less electronegativity than N, it forms nitride ion ( $N ^{-3}$ ). Hope this helps.
