How much does the Atlantic Ocean per year due to divergent boundaries?
About 3 centimeters.
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.
What are the average number of major hurricanes?
Each year the Atlantic Ocean has an average of 2 major hurricanes.

What year did the Dust Bowl blow as far as the Atlantic Ocean?
The Dust Bowl primarily affected the central United States, mainly the Great Plains region, during the 1930s. It did not extend all the way to the Atlantic Ocean.
How much does the Atlantic ocean widen per year due to divergent boundary?
About 3 centimeters.
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.
What causes the Atlantic ocean to widen one to three inche per year?
the techtonic plates are shifting (the continents are moving away from each other)
How much pollution is in the Atlantic ocean?
145545544.549494.pounds a year.
Why is the Atlantic ocean expanded?
The Atlantic Ocean has the mid-ocean ridge which has lava flow about every year and pushes out the rock around it. The Atlantic ocean expands about two inches every year pushing the continent with it.
How much does the Atlantic Ocean per year due to divergent boundaries?
About 3 centimeters.
In what year did the pilgrims cross the Atlantic Ocean on the Mayflower?
i think that it crossed the Atlantic ocean in the 1700's
Is ocean getting bigger?
The Atlantic Ocean is growing by centimeters each year. Each year, the "Atlantic Rift" opens up a little wider, separating Europe from North America. This is why there are so many earthquakes in Japan and California, in the "Ring of Fire" - the Pacific is being squashed!
What year did Charles lindburg fly arcoss the Atlantic ocean?
He flew across the Atlantic ocean (New York to Paris) in 1927.
Which ocean is frozen for much of the year?
None of the oceans re completely frozen solid all winter. The Atlantic Ocean has a portion that is frozen all winter though.
What will happen to the pacific ocean if the Atlantic ocean keeps getting wider?
The Atlantic will go on getting wider and wider, and will create a super ocean, but this will take many millions of years to happen.Lets look at some of the figures.The Mid Atlantic Ridge is widening the Atlantic Ocean by 0.4 to 4 inches (1 to 10 cms) a year. The average is about 1 inch (2.5 cm) a year.Taking the fastest speed, 4 inches (10 cm), it will take over 15,000 years to widen one mile.Multiply that by the width of the Pacific Ocean, 11,000 miles (17,700 km) at its widest point, and you are looking at 165,000,000 years for the Pacific Ocean to disappear.Don't forget that I used the fastest speed of widening, if you use the average speed, you will have to multiply 165 million by 4.
What year did legendary pilgrims cross the Atlantic ocean?
