As a crustal plate moves further from an oceanic ridge, it cools and becomes increasingly dense. This causes it to sink beneath the continental crust in a subduction zone. The weight of this sinking, cooling plate causes a major pulling action, which causes the rest of the plate to be pulled downwards as well.

I expected Crist and Ridge to each add about five points to the ticket in their respective states, while I thought Portman would be a push. Something is seriously wrong with the Republican Party when even its relatively harmless and/or popular public officials can’t seem to get any respect from the voting public.
