KnowraSlab pullLinked fromLinked fromThe 10 pages that link to Slab pull, each with the reason it gives.All 10Broader topic 1Related 8Compared with 1Subduction zoneRelated: The sinking slab helps drive plate motion toward the trench.Mantle convectionRelated: The plate-boundary expression of mantle convection; likely the dominant driver of plate motion.Tectonic plateRelated: It is often considered a major driver of plate motion.Supercontinent cycleRelated: Pull from ring-shaped subduction around a supercontinent drives its eventual breakup.Juan de Fuca PlateRelated: The descending portion contributes to forces that drive plate motion.Slab rollbackRelated: Slab sinking can drive hinge retreat, though slab pull and rollback are not identical.Archean tectonicsRelated: Hotter, weaker Archean slabs may have bent and broken rather than pulled plates.Whole-mantle convectionRelated: Sinking slabs can provide a major force driving circulation into the lower mantle.
