Best Answer

A slab push is a term given to tectonic plates that cause pressure from a down-dip motion. An example of this type of plate structure is where the Nazca plate and the South American plate meet near Peru.

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.


How do you fix your pool if the slab of cement at the steps into the pool is sinking and you're afraid that it will push the steps into the pool and damage the structure?

You first of all have to find out what is causing the slab to heave. If you fix the slab then within a two year period you will be redoing the slab again. You may have a leak in the plumbing of the pool or a leak in the house plumbing or to the garden hose. Fix all the leaks and then replace the slab.

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.


Think critically how can slab-pull and ridge-push contribute to the movement of a plate at the same time?

because other factors as shown in that could play a role in plate movement are ridge-push and slab-pull.
