If north America move 1.25 per year how far will it be away from ridge in middle of Atlantic ocean in 200 million years?
You can calculate this. The total of both continents will make it 2.5 centimeter. You will get pretty long distance. You can ask the distance after 20 billion years also. It is easy to calculate the answer using the calculator. But it is not practical answer. This way, the continents will override each other on the opposite side of the earth. This can not happen. The speed of drifting of the continents is not constant. it was high at the beginning of the fracture of the continents. It is getting slower and slower. The drifting will eventually stop, once the mass is distributed evenly across the earth. It will indefinitely long time for this to happen. This is subjected to the momentum of the earth due to the rotation of the earth.

How many times has rifting occurred along eastern north America since 600 million years ago?
The eastern coast of North America has experienced rifting several times since 600 million years ago. Key rifting events include the breakup of the supercontinent Pangea around 200 million years ago, which led to the opening of the Atlantic Ocean, and more recent episodes of continental rifting that have shaped the region's geology.
Is the earthquake that pangaea still going?
That is a total mystery. But I think yes. The land of Pangaea, was split by a massive earthquake. It split North America from Eroupe and Asia, and South America from Africa. That's what created, the North Atlantic Ridge. The North Atlantic Ridge or the NAR, is long row of mountains, that splits the Atlantic Ocean. But that ridge is actually spliting up the Atlantic Ocean, and closing in on the Pacific, so basically, the earthquake is still going on, but very very slowly. So its like North America, Eroupe and Asia and Africa are floating islands, and there floating towards the Pacific and making the Atlantic wider. So that answer is yes!

Antarctica is south of the Atlantic Ocean, but the Southern Ocean is between them.

Middle America's largest city is?
It depends on what you define "Middle America" as. If you define "Middle America" as the middle of the United States of America, then Chicago, Illinois would be the largest city with a population of 2.7 million people. If "Middle America" is the middle of the North American continent, then the twin cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul would be the largest city in that case (with a joint population of 3.28 million).
