The Atlantic ocean is growing by a few cm each year. Explain this phenomenon using plate tectonic theory?
The Atlantic Ocean is growing due to seafloor spreading, a process driven by plate tectonics. As tectonic plates move away from each other at mid-ocean ridges, magma rises to fill the gap, creating new oceanic crust. This continuous process leads to the widening of the ocean basin and results in the Atlantic Ocean expanding by a few centimeters each year.

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.
