Question

What is slab pull

A currents just beneath Earth's crust flow very slowly,causing movement in the plates above them
B folding and crumpling and sliding upward creating mountains
C when edges become denser and gravity pulls them downward and away from one another
D cooler, denser crust sinks into the mantle

Answer 1

Answer:

slab pull is cooler denser crust that sinks into the mantle.

Explanation:

I just read it in my science / Biology books. hope this helps.

Answer 2

A  slab pull is  cooler, denser crust sinks into the mantle.

What is slab pull?

Slab pulling Lithospheric plates cool and get denser as they migrate away from midocean ridges. They eventually get denser than the heated mantle underneath them. Cool, dense lithosphere subducts into the mantle and sinks there due to its own weight. This aids in lowering the entire plate along with it.

What is mantle?

A planetary body's mantle is just a layer that is surrounded by the crust on top and the core underneath. The largest and the most substantial layer of a planetary body, mantles are often comprised of rock or ice. Planetary bodies which have already undergone density differentiation typically have mantles.

The parts of the mantle that are closest to the core enlarge and lose density. Gravity causes denser areas farther from the core to sink. Convection currents are produced by these combined mechanisms in the mantle, within which denser territories sink by slab pull as well as cycle upward to hotter, less dense regions.

Therefore, the correct answer will be option (D)
