Answer:
Thermal convection currents drive the movement of earth's rigid tectonic plates in the planet's fluid molten mantle. In places where convection currents rise up towards the crust's surface, tectonic plates move away from each other in a process known as seafloor spreading.
Ridge push (also known as gravitational sliding) or sliding plate force is a proposed driving force for plate motion in plate tectonics that occurs at mid ocean ridges as the result of the rigid lithosphere sliding down the hot, raised asthenosphere below mid ocean ridges.
Slab pull is that part of the motion of a tectonic plate caused by its subduction. In 1975 forsyth and uyeda used the inverse theory method to show that, of the many forces likely to be driving plate motion, slab pull was the strongest.
