Answer:

Slab pull occurs where older, denser tectonic plates sink into the mantle. As these older sections of plates sink, newer and less dense sections of plate are pulled along behind. Sinking in one place leads to plates spreading apart in other places. Earthquakes and volcanoes are primarily found at plate boundaries .
