In ridge push, the mantle wells upward because of the convection and elevates the edges of spreading oceanic plates. Because these plates are higher at the spreading center, they are forced downhill due to <em>gravity</em> and eventually flatten out to the ocean floor.

One of the main driving force for tectonic plate motion is gravity.

The subduction is the process where under gravity the oceanic lithosphere dives beneath another plate and thats how one plate meets another plate.This sink of oceanic lithosphere is responsible for dragging of rest of the tectonic plates. This is how the plates move.

Write the acid-base reaction between the weak acid hydrofluoric acid, hf and the strong base sodium hydroxide naoh.
MissTica

HF + NaOH = NaF + H2O

Aqueous sodium fluoride (NaF) and water are the products of the reaction between hydrofluoric acid (HF), a weak acid and sodium hydroxide (NaOH), a strong base.

It is a straightforward acid-base reaction, despite the fact that hydrogen fluoride is a weak acid that doesn't completely dissociate in water (the equilibrium between the dissociated & undissociated acid will however be pushed to the right as the reaction progresses and all of the acid will eventually be neutralized). Water and sodium fluoride are the products

What exactly is an acid-base reaction?

An acid-base reaction is a chemical reaction that occurs between the reactants, which are an acid and a base. This reaction produces salt and water as byproducts. An acid-base reaction is a double replacement reaction in which ions swap positions.
