What is slab pull? (In the sea if it isn't clear)

Slab pull is that part of the motion of a tectonic plate caused by its subduction. ... Plate motion is partly driven by the weight of cold, dense plates sinking into the mantle at oceanic trenches. This force and slab suction account for almost all of the force driving plate tectonics.
