Answer:

Slab pull suggests that cold oceanic lithosphere sink to great depths.

Explanation:

Slab pull is one of the two primary driving forces of plate motion.

When lithospheric plates cool and become denser as they move away from midocean ridges, they eventually become denser than the underlying hot mantle, and the dense lithosphere "sinks like a rock" into the mantle under its own weight. This motion pulls the rest of the plate with it down into the mantle by gravity.

All mass movement occurs on slopes. Without gravity, the material would remain in place and not move. True or false.
matrenka [14]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The mass movements are representing movements of large masses of soil, also including rocks, water, biomass in them. These movements though need certain natural conditions so that they can happen. For a mass movement to occur, there has to be a slope, and under the influence of the gravitation, once the conditions are right, there will be movement downward until it reaches a flatter spot. If the terrain is flat, then a mass movement can not occur, as the gravitation is pulling the material down, so it will not be able to move. Also, if the gravitation is lacking, the material will not move anywhere, as without gravitation, there will be no atmosphere, and without atmosphere, there will be no agents to cause the mass movement.
