Continental drift never stopped and continues today. It just happens so slowly, we don't notice it. An example of one thing that will happen is because the pacific plate is rotating CCW, in one million years, Los Angeles will be out in the pacific ocean west of San Francisco.
Is there trash in the ocean from Japan's tsunami?
There is trash from the ocean in tsunami because I saw a video of it and it had trash a lot.I concur: Yes. The estimate is between five (5) and twenty (20) TONS of trash... The Hawaii News website shows a computer projection, based on data from the 'drift-buoys' that are used to observe the North Pacific Ocean's current trends.
Why is pacific ocean colder than Atlantic ocean?
The Atlantic Ocean is warmer than the Pacific Ocean. The reason for this is because there is a warm water ocean current that goes through the Gulf of Mexico. It is called the Gulf Stream. Later, as it goes up north towards Europe and Ireland, it turns into the Mid-Atlantic Drift. There is nothing to do with anything about it being in tropical waters. All in all, the Atlantic Ocean is warmer than the Pacific Ocean because of a warm water ocean current called the Gulf Stream that later turns into the Mid-Atlantic Drift.

Which ocean is getting bigger and which one is getting smaller?
The Atlantic Ocean is getting bigger and the Pacific Ocean is getting smaller. This is caused by the continental drift. The continental drift is the movement of the continents. Since the continents move 1 centimeter per year the crack in the middle of Atlantic is the mid ocean ridge. Magma is bubbling out and is adding to the ocean floor causing the continents to push away.
What was the name of the first ocean?
The first ocean on Earth is believed to have been the "global ocean" that emerged around 3.8 billion years ago, called the "Panthalassic Ocean." This ocean eventually transformed into the modern-day Pacific Ocean through continental drift and plate tectonics.
