Osmosis is a passive transport which moves water molecules from higher to lower gradient.
<span>Osmosis then is the movement of water particles from which has water and from which has not and to provide it with the sufficient H2O.<span>
</span></span><span>The concentration of salt in water affects the rate of osmosis because it will determine how much water should be transported or excreted or to be taken in. The cellular process is keen to the salt concentration of its system thus making sure to maintain balance between the salt concentration the right amount of water must also be in its area of release for any expected occurences.<span>

The right option is; slab-pull
The main source of downward convection flow in the mantle is called slab pull.
Slab-pull is the force applied by a cold, dense oceanic plate descending into the mantle as a result of its own weight. This process is known as subduction. The oceanic plate has a density higher than that of the hotter mantle below it and the difference in their density causes the plate to submerge into the mantle.
