-ocean waves

Earthquake

Explanation:

Tectonic plates are pieces of Earth's crust and uppermost mantle called the lithosphere with major parts buried under the ocean. Tectonic plates are the produced as a result of continental drift, which are divided into 7 major plates gliding over the mantle. They move because they are floating on top of the mantle due to convectional currents. One major evidence for the movement of the tectonic plates is the earthquakes.

it provides an alternative energy pathway for the reaction to proceed.

a catalyst is a substance that speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction but is not consumed during the course of the reaction.

catalysts increase the rate of reaction without being used up. they do this by lowering the activation energy needed. with a catalyst, more collisions result in a reaction, so the rate of reaction increases. different reactions need different catalysts.

a catalyst works by providing an alternative reaction pathway to the reaction product. the rate of the reaction is increased as this alternative route has a lower activation energy than the reaction route not mediated by the catalyst.
