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!
Is the Mariana Trench a convergent boundary?
yes it was, the pacific plate is descending under the Eurasian plate

Who controls the Falkan Islands located in the Atlantic Ocean?
Islas Malvinas, as the Argentines call the Falkland Islands are a far flung outpost of the British Empire. Inhabited by far more sheep than people the Islands were invaded in 1982 by Argentina. The British sent a force to remove them. I am unsure of what the territorial rights of the British are, but it is undeniable that the Islanders wish to remain under British jurisdiction.

What is the PSI at a depth of 5000 feet?
The pressure of liquid acting on a container or other body increases at the rate of 1 atmosphere or about 14.7 lbs. per square inch for every increase of 33 feet in depth. So doing the math results in: 5000ft./33ft. = 151.515. Multiplying that by 14.7 lbs. per square inch yields about 2227.27 lbs. per square inch at 5000 feet deep.
If this is about Deep Water Horizon, the bottom of the well below the sea floor is said to be another 18,000 feet. So, let's do the math: 5000 + 18000=23000/33ft = 696.96. Multiply this by 14.7 lbs. per square inch yields about 10,245.31 lbs psi. The psi would remain constant until it reached the sea floor and the lower 2227.27 psi. This can cause an explosion if the blow out preventer is not designed to handle these kinds of pressures. The unknown factor here, is if the gas pressure at 23000 feet below sea level might be in the range of 100,000 psi instead of the lower figures. There is no blow out preventer that can handle such pressures. No oil company can handle an accident of this magnitude. The only fix is to drill into the existing blow-out well and plug it. If there is erosion around the original casing and oil and gas opens up fissures in the earth's crust, the world may be in for a major catastrophic event. The sea could become as the blood of a dead man. And from the red color of the oil we see, this could be a very serious omen of the Apocalypses. Every nation on earth should be concerned about this accident. May God help us all.
Where is the depest part of the Atlantic ocean?
The deepest part of the Atlantic Ocean is the Puerto Rico Trench, reaching an incredible depth of 8, 605 meters (28, 232 feet) this however is not the deepest ocean in the world. The Mariana Trench, in the Pacific Ocean, reaches a mind shattering depth of 10,924meters (35, 840 feet) below the sea level!

How much of New Hampshire border is shoreline on the Atlantic Ocean?
New Hampshire has 18 miles of Atlantic Coastline.
Are the pacific ocean and the Atlantic ocean the same height?
Sea level is about 20cm higher on the Pacific than the Atlantic. This is due to the water being less dense (less salty) on average on the Pacific side, and due to the prevailing weather and ocean conditions.
At the isthmus that is known as Panama, however, we need to take into account the phase of the tides, as they are opposite to each other, i.e., when it's high tide on the Atlantic end of the Panama Canal, it's low tide on the Pacific end of the canal, and vice versa - one of the reason why "locks" are needed there. Such sea level differences are common across many short sections of land dividing ocean basins.
