How can gravity's role in tectonic plate motion be described?

It can be described as "ridge push and slab pull."

The three primary causes for tectonic plate movement are the convection of material in the mantle, gravity and the rotation of the planet. These forces cause each of the seven major plates and numerous other microplates to move independently of the others at a rate of a few centimeters per year.

I would imagine me talking Spanish with other people and making Spanish friends. And about learning their culture it will be quite difficult just because I’m adapting to the culture. It happens every time that you struggle to fit in but with time I will.
