Slab pull is the cool dense crust sinking into the earth in subduction zones, this literally pulls the entire plate down with it. Ridge push is the lifting and pushing apart of the plates at spreading zones.  

The Pacific ocean floor moves much quicker than the Atlantic because it has both slab-pull and ridge push acting on it, while the Atlantic only had ridge push (probably the weaker of the two forces)

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The difference between the ridge push hypothesis and slab pull process is the following.

During earthquakes, we are so scared to think about the reason why the enormous mass of the land can move. These geological terms of plaque tectonics can be understood like this. The excess height of the mid-ocean ridge push exerts so much pressure. This is the ridge push. The force that the weight of the subducted slab exerts on the plate that is attached is called the slab pull. These forces drive the tectonic plates of planet Earth.
