Slab Pull: The force exerted by the weight of the subducted slab on the plate it is attached to. Ridge Push: The pressure exerted by the excess height of the mid-ocean ridge. Introduction The history of the development of plate tectonics is centrally tied to the question of what drives pl...
The remainder of Fis primarily used to drive rollback-induced mantle flow (~70%), to bend the subducting plate at the trench (~15-30%) and to overcome shear resistance between slab and mantle (0-8%). 展开 关键词: Experimental/ Earth mantle tectonics/ net slab pull force driving ...

In central Chile, a large M=7.1 slab-push event occurred in October 1997 that followed a series of four shallow M w>6 thrust earthquakes on the plate interface. We used teleseismic body waveform inversion of a number of M w>5.9 slab-push and slab-pull earthquakes in order to obtain ...
(Scharf et al.2013, their Fig. 9). This has been taken to indicate that lateral orogenic escape in the Eastern Alps was triggered by the “push” of Adriatic indentation rather than the “pull” of Carpathian roll-back subduction (Scharf et al.2013, see discussion in section “Slab ...
The kinematics of plate tectonics, deformation and surface topography are strong indicators of coupling between plates and the mantle10,20,21,22. All the deformation patterns in the NCC that are characterized by NE- or NNE-oriented deformation centres originating from the eastern ocean–continent con...
These results help resolve apparent contradictions between insights from intraplate stress fields and plate dynamics; i.e., although plate motion is dominated by subduction, slab pull is only poorly expressed in the intraplate stress field because of low slab-plate coupling. 展开 关键词: subduction...
Slab pull is generally considered as the main driving force for plate motions (Forsyth and Uyeda, 1975;Royden, 1993), and is caused by the negative buoyancy of a subducting oceanic lithosphere. The progressive consumption of oceanic lithosphere at subduction zones can lead to the closure of ocean...
