What drivesWhat drivesPlate Tectonics???Plate Tectonics???

What drives plate motions• Forces that drive plate

motion – Slab-pull

• Cold, dense slabs of subducted oceanic lithosphere pull the plate towards the subduction zone

– Ridge-push• The higher elevation of

spreading centers result in oceanic lithosphere wanting to move “downhill”, away from the ridge

• Far less important than slab-pull

– Mantle drag and plate resistance

• Can act to increase or decrease plate motion

Mantle convection providesthe primary drive forplate tectonics

What drives plate motions• Models of plate-mantle

convection • Any model must be consistent

with observed physical and chemical properties of the mantle

• Horizontal movement of plates causes mantle upwelling

• Models – Layering at 660 km– Explains why basalts

erupted at mid-ocean ridges are different (more evolved, relatively shallow source) compared to those erupted at hot-spots (more primitive, deeper source).

– We know that subducting slabs descend beneath 660 km

What drives plate motions• Whole-mantle convection

– Would mix the entire mantle in the space of a few hundred million years, removing heterogeneities

What drives plate motions• Deep-layer model

– “Lava lamp model”

– Two layers swell and shrink in a complex fashion in response to heat from the Earth’s interior
