Is a divergent a slab-push a slab-pull?

Yes, slab-push and slab-pull are both mechanisms that drive plate movement at divergent boundaries. Slab-push involves the sinking of a dense oceanic plate into the mantle, which helps drive the separation of plates. Slab-pull refers to the force exerted by the sinking plate as it pulls the trailing portion of the plate along with it.


Which plate movement relies on the weight of the subduction crust?

The plate movement that relies on the weight of the subducting crust is called slab pull. As the dense oceanic plate sinks into the mantle at a subduction zone, it exerts a pulling force on the rest of the tectonic plate. This pulling force helps drive the movement of the tectonic plates.


What powers the plate tectonics?

The plate tectonics are powered by the heat generated from the Earth's core. This heat causes the movement of molten rock in the mantle, creating convection currents that drive the movement of tectonic plates over the Earth's surface.


Do plate tectonics last forever?

Plate tectonics will continue as long as the Earth's interior remains hot enough to drive the movement of plates. While the process may evolve or change over time, plate tectonics is expected to continue for millions of years.


What drives plate motion?

Plate motion is primarily driven by convection currents in the Earth's mantle. Heat from the core drives these currents, causing magma to rise and cool near the surface, creating a continuous cycle of movement that pushes and pulls the tectonic plates. Other factors, such as gravitational forces and the sinking of cold, dense lithosphere at subduction zones, also contribute to plate motion.

What is a cavitation plate on a boat?

A cavitation plate is the adjustable metal plate that runs along the bottom of the transom on a V-drive. Some people call the flat metal plate on an outboard or outdrive a cavitation plate but the correct name is anti ventilation plate and cavitation and ventillation are not the same. It is similar in function to Trim Tabs. A cavitation plate is used to adjust the trim of a V-Drive and keep the nose on the water. Here is a link to a picture on PerformanceBoats dot com In this picture of a V-drive, the cavitation plate is anodized red.
