Sagot :

Answer:

A.

Explanation:

Slab pull is the pulling force exerted by a cold, dense oceanic plate plunging into the mantle due to its own weight. The theory is that because the oceanic plate is denser than the hotter mantle beneath it, this contrast in density causes the plate to sink into the mantle. The process of a tectonic plate descending into the mantle is termed subduction.
