Scope and Contents
Contents
Tectonic plate motions reflect dynamical contributions from subduction processes (i.e., classical “slab‐pull” forces) and lateral pressure gradients within the asthenosphere (“asthenosphere‐drive” forces), which are distinct from gravity forces exerted by elevated mid‐ocean ridges (i.e., classical “ridge‐push” forces). Here we use scaling analysis...
