由岩石圈增厚和俯冲板片驱动的海洋板块运动

冷却的海洋岩石圈的增厚导致了一个显著的驱动力分布在板块的面积上。简单的流动模型表明，这种力在驱动海洋板块方面可能比俯冲带岩石圈板块下沉的力更重要。
The thickening of the cooling oceanic lithosphere results in a significant driving force that is distributed over the area of the plates. Simple flow models show that this force may be more important in driving oceanic plates than that force from sinking lithospheric slabs at subduction zones.
