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.
The downward sliding characteristic of ridge-push is the result of?
gravity
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 force on the the rest to the plate from the asthenosphere below cooling sinking rock is called?
Ridge Push
Convection ridge push and slab pull work together to produce?
constant tectonic plate motion.
