How are ridge and slab pull related to convection in Earths mantle?

they are related because they all have to do with the oceanic lithosphere.The convection causes the lithosphere to move sideways and away from the midocean ridges.The ridge push makes the oceanic lithosphere slide downhill under the force of gravity. The slab pull:the old lithosphere is denser than asthenosphere so, the edge of the tectonic plates that contains oceanic lithosphere sinks and plls the rest of the tectonic plate.
