Best Answer

The basin of the Atlantic Ocean formed when the Americas started moving west away from Africa and Europe. There is a giant mid-ocean ridge that runs north to south in the middle of the Atlantic. This is a seafloor spreading zone where convection currents from the mantle cause the crust to split apart and move in opposite directions.
