16 paź 2004 · By contrast, density heterogeneity associated with lithospheric cooling, which generates the “ridge push” force, has been shown to represent only a small (less than ∼10%) fraction of the net forces that drive plate motions [e.g., Lithgow-Bertelloni and Richards, 1998].
1 lut 2012 · We find that ridge push introduces additional tractions directed away from ridges, as expected, but the net effect on the global force balance is small, as demonstrated by Figure 5 (cf. grey curve to red).
Ridge push (also known as gravitational slides 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.
28 sie 2017 · The ridge-push force has been derived from the thermal state of oceanic lithosphere, seafloor depth and crustal age data. The results of modeling show that the transmission of ridge-push related stresses in oceanic plates mainly depends on rheology and predominant tectonic conditions.
1 sty 2021 · These sublithospheric buoyancy forces generate the plate-driving forces Fsp (slab pull) and Frp (ridge push).
29 gru 2014 · Definition. Plate Driving Forces: The forces that drive the motions of tectonic plates at the surface. 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.
23 cze 2023 · We present a new algorithm that calculates time-dependent slab pull, ridge push (GPE force) and mantle drag resistance for any topologically closed reconstruction, and evaluates the...
