Where do two of the earth's plates split apart?
The Mid-Atlantic-Ridge is where two of Earth's plates split apart. The Mid-Atlantic-Ridge was formed along a divergent boundary where seafloor spreading is taking place.
What continents were side by side?
Originally all of the continents were one land mass. Looking at the land masses divided by the Atlantic ocean you can tell that they were split apart. They are still moving.
Explain in detail how the atlantic ocean formed between the americas and europe and africa?
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.
What is the ocean between Europe and the US?
It is the Atlantic Ocean, commonly split into North Atlantic (north of the equator, separating Europe and northern Africa from North America) and South Atlantic (south of the equator, so separating Africa from South America). This question was answered in Europe (east of the Atlantic) and was probably asked in the USA (west of the Atlantic)
What was formed when these two continents split 65 million years ago?
When the continents split 65 million years ago, the Atlantic Ocean began forming as North America and Eurasia drifted apart. This separation led to the creation of a mid-ocean ridge, where new oceanic crust is continuously being formed by volcanic activity.
What mid Atlantic country is being split apart by plate moving?
Iceland is the mid-Atlantic country being split apart by the movement of the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. The country's unique geological setting along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge results in active volcanic and geothermal activity, as well as gradual separation of the two tectonic plates.
What Europe countries border the Atlantic Ocean?
It depends on what side you are. West of the Atlantic Ocean are North America and South America. East of the Atlantic are Europe and Africa. North of the Atlantic is Greenland, which is geographically part of North America, and Iceland, which is split down the middle between North America and Europe. Antarctica is south of the Atlantic Ocean, but the Southern Ocean is between them.
Which of the worlds ocean is the youngest?
In the Triassic period 200 million years ago the Pacific, Arctic, and Indian (Tethys) oceans were already outlined. As Pangaea split up, the Atlantic formed as the American continents split from Africa. The Antarcitic ocean may be considered to be the youngest as India did not split from it until the Atlantic started to appear. But really its a toss up between the Atlantic and Antarctic.
Where was the Titanic in 2011?
still at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, still split in two.. like it has been for the past 100 years
When those two continents split 65 million years ago what were formed?
When the two continents split 65 million years ago, the Atlantic Ocean was formed through a process called seafloor spreading. This process occurs when two tectonic plates move apart, allowing magma to rise from the mantle and create new oceanic crust. As the two continents moved away from each other, the Atlantic Ocean continued to widen and separate the landmasses.
Why did breaking Benjamin split apart in 2006?
They didn't split apart...
Nitrogen bases are split apart by what?
They are split apart by the enzymes helicase.
