17 sie 2020 · The model output shows that bite force is rather variable in dogs and that dogs bite harder on the molar teeth and at lower gape angles. Half of the bite force is determined by the temporal muscle. Bite force also increased with size, and brachycephalic dogs showed higher bite forces for their size than mesocephalic dogs.
Bite force is generated by the interaction of the masticatory muscles, the mandibles and maxillae, the temporomandibular joints (TMJs), and the teeth. Several methods to measure bite forces in dogs and cats have been described.
There are three main forces that determine the rate at which tectonic plates move as part of the mantle convection system: slab pull: the force due to the weight of the cold, dense sinking tectonic plate. ridge push: the force due to the buoyancy of the hot mantle rising to the surface beneath the ridge.
Ridge push force and slab pull are two key forces that drive tectonic plate movements. Ridge push occurs at mid-ocean ridges, where newly formed, elevated oceanic crust slides down due to gravity, while slab pull takes place at subduction zones where denser oceanic plates sink into the mantle.
28 sie 2017 · The main purpose of this study is twofold: (1) to develop detailed models of lithospheric strength of oceanic plates and ridge-push force, and (2) to determine the rheological and tectonic conditions for ridge-push force transmission in the interior of oceanic plates.

One side in the argument holds that the plates are only moved by the traction caused by mantle convection. The other side holds that traction plays only a minor role and that two other forces, ridge push and slab pull, are more important. Some argue that the real answer lies somewhere in between.
