Both slab-pull and ridge-push are mechanisms that cause?
Ocean plates to be subducted into the mantle
The main source of downward convection flow in the mantle is called?
slab pull
What are the three processes that cause tectonic plates to move?
Three processes that contribute to the motion of tectonic plates are convection currents, ridge push, and slab pull. Convection currents is when the mantle rises, cools, sinks and heats, then rises and repeats the cycle. Ridge push is a gravitational force that causes a plate to move. Slab pull is the movement of tectonic plate lithosphere due to convection currents in the asthenosphere.
When gravity starts to pull tectonic plates into the asthenosphere the process is called?
Slab Pull.
Which is the stronger force behind the plate movement?
slab-pull
Is convection a slab-pull or slab-push?
Convection is a slab-pull
Is a divergent a slab-push a slab-pull?
convergent boundary
What is a good sentence for slab pull?
Our monster truck is certain to win the slab pull competition.
Both slab-pull and ridge-push are mechanisms that cause?
Ocean plates to be subducted into the mantle
What is thought to be the main driving force behind plate movement?
slab pull
The main source of downward convection flow in the mantle is called?
slab pull
What are 3 forces that causes tectonic plates to move?
This will be in detail for your information. 3 driving forces of plate motion...one plate moves underneath the other or a continental collision (if the 2... cause the gravitational sliding of lithosphere plates away from them...
What is the difference between ridge push and slab pull?
Ridge push is a gravitation force that causes a plate to move away from the crest of an ocean ridge, and into a subduction zone. The Slab pull force is a tectonic plate force due to subduction. The difference is the force of motion.
What happens when a slab sinks?
Slab pull occurs when two plates stick together.
Can you recruit latias on Pokemon explorers of sky?
yes on the 10 floor of the spacail rift with secret slab
What does the scientific term Slab pull mean?
Slab pull means the movement of tectonic plates due to currents in the mid-mantle, this causes subduction.
How do continental plates move?
All of Earth's plates move because of convection in the asthenosphere, and slab push and pull in the lithosphere. Slab pull causes the lithosphere to slide beneath another plate into the asthenosphere, while slab push helps the slab move away from the ridge toward the slab pull.
