I'm a bit confused by your question. Are you asking how the Gulf of Mexico originated or how the Gulf of Mexico oil spill started?

I have included a link describing the geological processes by which the Gulf of Mexico was created over 300 million years ago. There existed a single super continent called Pangae, which included Europe, Africa, South America and North America. The land mass began to sink, millions of years ago and the continents moved away from each other. It was an extremely slow process taking place over hundreds of millions of years (during the Mesozoic Era).
