TEST IV.FILL ME UP: For this type, you will compare the forces that cause plate movements. For column 2, write how it originates. For column
3, indicate the effects of the forces that cause the movements. WRITE YOUR ANSWER IN THE ANSWER SHEET.

TEST IV
Forces that cause Produced by  Effects of the forces that cause the plate
plate movements ____ movements
Thermal convection heat from the     causing currents of hot rising magma and cooler
Earth's interior  sinking magma to flow, moving the plates of the crust
along with them
Ridge push Gravitational force  -plate motion in plate tectonics that occurs at mid-
ocean ridges
- rocks near the ridge cool, they become denser, and
gravity pulls them away.
-rigid lithosphere sliding down the hot, raised
asthenosphere below mid-    ocean ridges. 

Slab pull Subduction  cool, dense lithosphere sinks into the mantle under its
own weight
