Ridge push is a geological process that is responsible for the movement of tectonic plates.

It occurs when the weight of a mid-ocean ridge pushes an oceanic plate away from the ridge and towards a subduction zone, where the plate is eventually pulled down into the mantle.

So, the natural process that is responsible for ridge push is the movement of tectonic plates, which is driven by convection currents in the mantle.
