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.
What else can I help you with?
Both slab-pull and ridge-push are mechanisms that cause?
Ocean plates to be subducted into the mantle
What are the three processes that cause tectonic plates to move?
Three processes that contribute to the motion of tectonic plates are convection currents, ridge push, and slab pull. Convection currents is when the mantle rises, cools, sinks and heats, then rises and repeats the cycle. Ridge push is a gravitational force that causes a plate to move. Slab pull is the movement of tectonic plate lithosphere due to convection currents in the asthenosphere.
Which process or processess are involved in the sinking of cold ocean plates into the mantle?
Slab-pull and ridge-push acting together
When gravity starts to pull tectonic plates into the asthenosphere the process is called?
Slab Pull.
What models have been propose to explain the driving mechanism for plate motion?
Two main models have been proposed to explain the driving mechanism for plate motion: slab pull and ridge push. Slab pull suggests that the gravitational force acting on a denser oceanic plate sinking into the mantle pulls the rest of the plate along with it. Ridge push, on the other hand, suggests that the elevation difference between the elevated mid-ocean ridges and the lower trenches exerts a gravitational force that pushes the plates away from the ridges.
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.
How is slab pull different form ridge push?
it test flashing .
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.
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...
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.
Both slab-pull and ridge-push are mechanisms that cause?
Ocean plates to be subducted into the mantle
How does slab pull and ridge push work together?
Slab pull and ridge push are two key driving forces of plate tectonics that work together to move tectonic plates. Slab pull occurs when the denser oceanic plate sinks into the mantle at subduction zones, pulling the rest of the plate behind it. Ridge push happens at mid-ocean ridges where new crust is formed and pushes the tectonic plate away from the ridge. Together, these forces contribute to the movement of tectonic plates.
What are the three processes that cause tectonic plates to move?

Convection currents is when the mantle rises, cools, sinks and heats, then rises and repeats the cycle. Ridge push is a gravitational force that causes a plate to move. Slab pull is the movement of tectonic plate lithosphere due to convection currents in the asthenosphere.
What are similarities and differences between ridge push and slab pull?
Ridge push is where new crust pushes parts of a plate out of its way. Slab pull is when old parts of a plate sink into the mantle. And Cameron Dallas and Taylor Caniff are really fine hot cute all of the above
Is convection a slab-pull or slab-push?
Convection is a slab-pull
Which process or processess are involved in the sinking of cold ocean plates into the mantle?
Slab-pull and ridge-push acting together
