because butts fell in the water and the water kept rising so the size increased.
The Pacific Ocean is twice as large as the Atlantic Ocean.
The Pacific Ocean
The Pacific Ocean is the world's largest, in area. It is much larger than the Atlantic Ocean.
the Atlantic is larger than the Indian Ocean this is the order in size::: The Pacific, Atlantic, Indian and the Arctic Ocean
The Atlantic Ocean increases and decreases in size over time. These changes are said to be lead by the effects of Global Warming.
The Atlantic Ocean is still getting bigger, but in a few million years it is estimated to shrink down to nothing.
The Atlantic Ocean is not expanding at the same rate as new crust formation due to the process of subduction, where tectonic plates are pushed beneath one another. While new crust is created at mid-ocean ridges, old crust is being recycled back into the mantle at subduction zones, particularly around the Pacific Ocean. This balance between crust formation and destruction helps maintain the overall size of the ocean. Additionally, geological processes such as continental drift can influence the rate of expansion.
subduction and sea floor spreading.
No. The Pacific Ocean is 165,200,000 km² whereas the Atlantic Ocean is 106,400,000 km². This makes the Pacific Ocean 1.5 times larger than the Atlantic Ocean.
The Atlantic Ocean is still getting bigger, but in a few million years it is estimated to shrink down to nothing.
By size: #1. Pacific #2. Atlantic #3. Indian #4. Southern #5 Artic :)
No, it's big, but it is the Pacific that is huge !
