slab pull

Explanation:

When the more dense crust dives into the asthenosphere, it continues to pull the rest of the crust with it. This is called slab pull.

The pulling effect of a subducting plate on the rest of the plate is known as slab pull.

  • In describing plate tectonics and movement of different plates, the term slab pull is frequently used.
  • It is used to illustrate the dragging of a plate mass on all its part.
  • A slab is a lithospheric plate.
  • At a subduction margin, colder plates will sink because they are more denser.
  • The whole mass of the plate moves down regardless of how rigid and brittle they are.
