The history of the development of plate tectonics is centrally tied to the question of what drives plate motions. This has been the case since the failure of Wegener’s ideas about polflucht to explain continental drift to the seminal papers by Elsasser (1969), Solomon and Sleep (1974), and...
On the Forces Driving Plate Tectonics: Inferences from Absolute Plate Velocities and Intraplate Stress Absolute plate motions and intraplate stress both serve as tests of models for the forces acting on plate boundaries. Plate velocities relative to a presumedly fixed underlying mantle are calculated fr...

Buoyancy forces at spreading centers and convergent plate boundaries and viscous drag at the base of the lithosphere are modeled as surface tractions applied to the shell. Drag is modeled as both a resistive and a driving force, and both symmetric and nonsymmetric forces at subduction zones are ...

The underlying dynamic mechanism responsible for plate motions has been long identified in lateral buoyancy variations within the Earth mantle (Forte 2010). However, 40 years after the acceptance of plate tectonics, the details of how these forces may vary in time to modify plate movements remain ...
Understanding the dominant force responsible for supercontinent breakup is crucial for establishing Earth's geodynamic evolution that includes supercontinent cycles and plate tectonics. Conventionally, two forces have been considered: the push by mantle plumes from the sub-continental mantle which is called...
The comparison between spreading forces and resistances indicates that the occurrence of gravitational collapse can be excluded beyond any reasonable uncertainty for the four Mediterranean orogenic belts here considered (Northern Apennines, ...
