What is slab pull? |

HI THERE! The answer to the question i believe your asking is plate motion due to higher densities...C. hope i helped!
It's the force caused by suction of the cold dense lithosphere into the asthenosphere at destructive margins. Basically, because lithosphere is denser than asthenosphere, there is gravitational imbalance which is passed on to the crust. this causes the lithosphere to be sucked inwards at the oceanic trenches into deep asthenosphere.
