This geological process is called Mantle drag .

What is Mantle drag?

According to the first driving mechanism, known as mantle drag, plate motion is the consequence of viscous drag brought on by the lateral motion of the tops of mantle convection cells in the asthenosphere on the base of the lithosphere . Convection cells would thus be mostly absent beneath continents, rising beneath oceanic ridges, and dropping beneath trenches. This idea states that the oceanic lithosphere would be in a state of tension at the ocean ridges and compression at the trenches.

Due to their connection to accretive and destructive plate boundaries, the horizontal widths of the convection cells causing mantle drag would be projected to be around half an ocean's breadth, or 3000 km.

The Guayas River flows through the largest city in Ecuador, which is?
makvit [3.9K]
The Guayas River flows through Guyaquil, which is the largest city in Ecuador. However, it is not the capital city, which is Quito. The Guayas River has it's name, because it flows through the Guayas province. The Guayas River does not flow into any ocean or sea. Guayaquil is also the most populated in Ecuador. The city underwent relatively recently an "urban renegation" to attract more tourists to that particular region of Ecuador. This was also to help boost the economy, since at the moment it mostly consists of small and medium businesses, agriculture and aquaculture.
