The Pacific Ocean is shrinking as the Atlanic Ocean is spreading. Subduction is occurring in the Pacific Ocean and the continental plates are moving and that changes the placement of the oceans.
the movement in the plate tectonics causes the movement at the bottom of the pacific ocean
In the south pacific In the south pacific Japan, Norway and Iceland are amongst the biggest commercial whalers.
The country was being occupied by Japan, and was also their ally in the Pacific.
The pacific oceanic plate is sinking beneath conential plate

around the edge of the pacific ocean i think that the pacific plate is diverging with the nasca plate (moving apart). Also it is sliding upwards. sorry if it doesnt help only 13 !!! xx [Which Edge?]
The 3 plates, The Juan de Fuca plate, the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate collided and made mt st helens but i'm not sure what's happening currently with the plates....
The Pacific Plate is sliding horizontally past the North American Plate along a transform boundary. This type of movement is responsible for frequent earthquakes in regions like California.
The pacific oceanic plate is sinking beneath the continental plate to which Japan is attached in what is called a subduction zone. The oceanic plate is being destroyed.
There is no ocean called the Antarctic Ocean. The waters surrounding the Antarctic Continent are considered parts of the South Pacific, South Atlantic and Indian Oceans, or are called the Southern Ocean.
The answer is: "how is this happening"?
California in on a plate boundary where the Pacific plate and the North American plate are moving along side each other.
