WJEC AS Geography Tectonics questions and answers Ridge push Rising plumes of hot magma cause the rocks in the lithosphere to bend upwards, forming a mid ocean ridge. Gravity causes the crust to slide downwards. Slab pull At a convergent boundary, the denser heavier plate is subducted, causing sea-floor spreading Convection Circular current that transfers heat energy from magma heated by the core to the crust. The magma cools and then sinks back down. Hotspot A part of ...
