What two oceans separate the us from much of the world?

The main oceans are the Atlantic Ocean, and the Pacific Ocean.


How many volcanoes happen on a transform boundary?

Usually none. Only earthquakes are frequent on transform boundaries since transform boundaries appear mostly in the ocean. Transform boundaries, like the San Andreas Fault, usually only produce Earthquakes. However, there are often volcanoes AT transform boundaries (like the Long Valley Caldera) as a result of shearing and the thin surface that results from California's nearby divergent boundary that allows magma to inch much closer to the surface.


Is the African plate an oceanic or continental plate?

The African Plate is primarily a continental tectonic plate. It includes much of the African continent and extends into the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian Ocean. While it contains oceanic crust along its western and eastern boundaries, the main portion of the plate consists of continental crust.


Which tectonic plate do we live on?

We live on the North American Plate, which covers much of North America, parts of the Atlantic Ocean, and extends to the Arctic Ocean. This tectonic plate is bordered by several others, including the Pacific Plate to the west and the Eurasian Plate to the northeast. Its movements contribute to various geological phenomena, such as earthquakes and volcanic activity, particularly along its boundaries.


How much pressure is there 1 mile under the Atlantic Ocean?

The pressure 1 mile under the Atlantic Ocean is approximately 2,300 pounds per square inch (psi). This pressure increases as you descend further into the ocean due to the weight of the water above.

How much does the Atlantic ocean widen per year due to divergent boungries?

The rate of widening at divergent boundaries in the Atlantic Ocean is approximately 2.5 centimeters per year. This is caused by the seafloor spreading along mid-ocean ridges where tectonic plates move apart. Over time, this process leads to the formation of new oceanic crust.


How much does the Atlantic ocean widen per year due to divergent boundary?

About 3 centimeters.


What would happen to Earth if ocean floor were created at divergent boundaries at a faster rate than it is destroyed at convergent boundaries?

Basically cataclysm. Because of the rapid changes in the earths level, im guessing you mean. Would mean that there would be too much ocean floor, and the cause would be if you meant the Earth would happen, well not much just we would lose a lot of water from the ocean.


Is the pacific ocean same size as the Atlantic ocean?

The Pacific Ocean is the world's largest, in area. It is much larger than the Atlantic Ocean.


How far does the mid-Atlantic ridge stretch?

The mid-Atlantic ridge splits nearly the entire Atlantic Ocean north to south - it's a divergent plate boundary. 10,000 km long


How much percent of the Atlantic ocean can you drink?

No body can drink Atlantic ocean water its especially full of salt.


What is saltier the Atlantic or Pacific Ocean?

Before and after I am done urinating in Mediterranean beaches, the water is much saltier than the Atlantic due to the fact that the Mediterranean loses more water to evaporation than it receives from rivers.


Does Greenland touch the Atlantic Ocean?

Yes, the island of Greenland is touched by the Atlantic Ocean. In fact, Greenland's coasts are washed by the far northern Atlantic Ocean. Much further north, its coasts are touched by the Arctic Ocean.
