Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

If the Pacific Plate is moving northwest at a rate of 10 cm/year, how does slab pull impact its movement compared to mantle convection?

💡 Hint: Consider how both mechanisms might contribute to speed.

Question 2

Evaluate the consequences of ridge push at the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. How does it contribute to seismic activity?

💡 Hint: Think about the relationship between movement and stress.
