What age is the south Atlantic ocean basin?
It is 180 Million Years Old
What is the age of the oldest ocean?
The oldest oceanic crust is in the west Pacific and north-west Atlantic. They are about 180 to 200 million years old.
Which one of the oceans is the youngest?
There's really only one ocean, and it's all the same age (somewhere around 4 billion years). But as man-made names go, the Atlantic basin is the newest.
Name the currents that brought the ships into the Caribbean?
The main currents that brought ships into the Caribbean include the North Atlantic Current and the Caribbean Current. The North Atlantic Current flows southwest from the North Atlantic Ocean, guiding vessels towards the Caribbean Sea. Additionally, the Caribbean Current flows northwestward along the coast of Central America, facilitating navigation into the region. These currents were crucial for maritime trade and exploration during the Age of Sail.
What is the term for the period when many Western Europeans traveled across the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean for the first time?

How old are the oldest rock of the Atlantic sea floor?
The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is part of the greater mid-ocean ridge system, an underwater mountain range that is over 40,000 miles long. The age of new rock closest to the ridge would be roughly the same anywhere along the ridge.
Is Pacific Ocean growing?
actually no, it is getting smaller as the Atlantic Ocean gets bigger due to the contininents of Africa and Europe being pushed further away from the Americas by the mid Atlantic ridge. But as you observe the official data on ocean floor age, you might come to another conclusion.
Is the Pacific Ocean spreading?
actually no, it is getting smaller as the Atlantic ocean gets bigger due to the contininents of Africa and Europe being pushed further away from the Americas by the mid Atlantic ridge. But as you observe the official data on ocean floor age, you might come to another conclusion.
How did the North America continent form?
The north American craton split from the European craton as the Atlantic ocean was created by the process of sea floor spreading and continental drift.

Explain why global warming and the melting of North American glaciers produced an ice age in Europe?
This question is not entirely correct. It was the collecting of large expanses of fresh water from melting ice, which was held back by thicker ice until it catastrophically broke through and entered the North Atlantic Ocean in one mass, causing the warmer sea currents from the south to be diverted. This cooled northern Europe to produce a mini-glaciation, not an ice age. Gradual warming would not have the same effect as there would be no large bodies of fresh water to add to the ocean.
When was The Age of Atlantic created?
The Age of Atlantic was created in 1970.
