How can gravity's role in tectonic plate motion be described?

Biology
1 answer:
NISA [10]3 years ago
8 0

Answer: (B) Ridge push and slab pull

Explanation: 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 gravity and eventually flatten out to the ocean floor.

What causes large amounts of air to move?
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

There is a term "atmospheric circulation". It is when the air throughout the globe moves around. When the sun heats air near the equator more, and less at the poles. So the equator is warmer. The warm air near the equator moves either towards the south or the north, toward the poles. The warm air also rises up, and the cold air sinks. This is convection, but at a global scale. THis is also the cause of wind.
