how do the driving forces move plate tectonics?

« on: 02/08/2018 01:05:24 »

How does each driving force of plate tectonics work?
Ridge push,
Slab pull,
Slab suction,
Mantle convection.

Does ridge pushing and slab pulling happen because of mantle convection? Also which is the most accurate explanation out of the 4?

Hmm... Let's do it one-by-one.
Sludge push: gravity works at this one. Also mantle has its own part.

Slab pull and suction: i don't know.

Mantle convection:

Just think about this - This text is just numbers getting projected into your retina to be turned to information again. Preety cool, huh?
