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 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...
The downward sliding characteristic of ridge-push is the result of?
gravity
Convection ridge push and slab pull work together to produce?
Convection ridge push and slab pull work together to produce plate motion within the Earth's lithosphere. Ridge push occurs at mid-ocean ridges where newly formed crust pushes older crust away, while slab pull occurs at subduction zones where denser oceanic crust sinks into the mantle, pulling the plate along with it. These forces combined drive the movement of tectonic plates.
Compare and contrast ridge-push and slab-pull?
Ridge push is a proposed mechanism for plate motion in plate tectonics. Because mid-ocean ridges lie at a higher elevation than the rest of the ocean floor, gravity causes the ridge to push on the lithosphere that lies farther from the ridge.Slab Pull is is tectonic plate motion due to higher densities. Plate motion is partly driven by the weight of cold, dense plates sinking into the mantle at trenches.
What a ridge push?
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.
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 is an example of the slab pull ridge push mechanism?
In the slab pull ridge push mechanism, as a tectonic plate subducts beneath another, the weight of the subducting plate (slab pull) and the force exerted by the rising ridge system (ridge push) both contribute to the movement of the plates. For example, the movement of the Pacific Plate due to subduction beneath the North American Plate in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States is driven by the combined effects of slab pull and ridge push.
What it is called when a plate at a mid-ocean ridge responds to gravity by sliding down a slope?
ridge push, i think...
Who is a slab pull different from ridge push?
Slab pull is the force that occurs when a subducting tectonic plate sinks into the mantle, pulling the rest of the plate behind it. Ridge push, on the other hand, is the force that occurs when the elevated edges of a mid-ocean ridge push the plate away from the ridge. Both forces play a role in plate tectonics, with slab pull mainly driving plate motion at subduction zones and ridge push contributing to the movement of plates away from mid-ocean ridges.
What was the cause for Europe and North America to drift apart?
Ridge Push :)

Ridge
How is slab pull different form ridge push?
