Is ocean getting bigger?
The Atlantic Ocean is growing by centimeters each year. Each year, the "Atlantic Rift" opens up a little wider, separating Europe from North America. This is why there are so many earthquakes in Japan and California, in the "Ring of Fire" - the Pacific is being squashed!
How many names do the virgin Atlantic planes have?
Virgin Atlantic planes have one name each. Sometimes names will change for a promotional event or a special occasion. All names reflect female names.
What ocean crosses the Pacific Ocean?
No ocean crosses the Pacific Ocean. The Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean meet each other, but don't cross each other. Like all oceans, around its edges there are many seas, but they don't cross the Pacific Ocean.
How many currents exist within each gyre?
there is not a certain no. of ocean currents that take place inside each ocean gyre.

The Atlantic ocean is growing by a few cm each year. Explain this phenomenon using plate tectonic theory?
The Atlantic Ocean is growing due to seafloor spreading, a process driven by plate tectonics. As tectonic plates move away from each other at mid-ocean ridges, magma rises to fill the gap, creating new oceanic crust. This continuous process leads to the widening of the ocean basin and results in the Atlantic Ocean expanding by a few centimeters each year.
What is a circle graph use?
A circle graph is used for showing something divided into portions. For example, a circle graph with the title "Trash in the Atlantic Ocean" would have sections and percentages of each section with labels of each section of each type of trash in the Atlantic Ocean.

Where on Earth do two tectonic plates move away from each other?
Also Known as a Divergent Boundry, the most famous one is the Mid Atlantic Ridge in the middle of the Atlantic ocean which is at this very moment, increasing the length of the Atlantic ocean.
What are the five world oceans?

What size are the oceans?
the sizes of the oceans depend on how large does each continent have and the ocean takes up 75% of the earth.
The Pacific Ocean is shrinking while the Atlantic Ocean is expanding Which type of plate boundary must be involved in each location?
The Pacific Ocean is shrinking due to subduction, where one tectonic plate is being forced beneath another. This occurs at convergent plate boundaries where plates are moving towards each other. The Atlantic Ocean is expanding due to seafloor spreading, which happens at divergent plate boundaries where plates are moving away from each other, creating new oceanic crust.
