Rock is being cooled down and moving toward the surface.

Crust is being melted and sinking into the mantle.

Slab pull is going to pull the plate along.

A trench is being formed by a convergent boundary.

Mantle material is cooling down and forming new crust at the mid-ocean ridge.

Plates are being separated by mantle convection, leaving a gap between the plates.
