What is ridge push ?

Awhen edges become denser and gravity pulls them downward and away from one another.


Bcooler and denser crust sinks into mantle.


Cfolding and crumpling and sliding upward creating mountains.


Dcurrents just beneath earths crust flow very slowly causing movement In the plates above them.


This is for science.!!

I believe a ridge push is A. Hope this helps! :)

Answer: (A) when edges become denser and gravity pulls them downward and away from one another.

During continental and oceanic plate tectonics. The plates collides with one another as a result of divergent tectonics. The edges at the point of contact gets displaced off from lighter plate and sinks at the bottom due to the effect of graviational pull. This is known as subduction. Due to force of collision these plates do not sunduct to the same location but are thrown to distinct places away from each other.
