The driving force and geoid anomaly associated with the thermal structure of the oceanic plates are shown to be proportional to the first moment of the density structure with respect to depth and, hence, to each other. Both quantities exhibit the same functional dependence on age and this is given for two different thermal models. For the plate model the geoid anomaly and ridge driving force only increase slowly for ages greater than 40 m.y. in contrast to the half-space boundary layer model where a linear dependence on age holds for all ages. Isolation of the geoid anomaly related to the thermal structure of the plates would provide a direct measure of the magnitude of the ridge driving force.
