The theory is that because the oceanic plate is denser than the hotter mantle beneath it, this contrast in density causes the plate to sink into the mantle. The process of a tectonic plate descending into the mantle is termed subduction. Slab pull occurs when an oceanic plate subducts into the underlying mantle.

Explanation:

The Milankovitch cycles -

This is the movement related to Earth's orbit around the Sun .

There are three cycles , Axial tilt , Eccentricity and precession .

According to this theory , these cycles together affect the amount of the solar heat that is incident towards the Earth's surface and the climatic pattern .

The Milankovitch cycle helps the advance and retreat of ice over the periods of 10,000 to 1000,000 years , but it does not explain the cause of Ice Age.
