The Atlantic Ocean is slowly widening due to the process of seafloor spreading at the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, where tectonic plates are moving apart. In contrast, the Pacific Ocean is gradually shrinking as its tectonic plates converge at subduction zones, particularly around the Ring of Fire, where oceanic crust is being pushed under continental crust or other oceanic plates. This dynamic interaction between the two oceans influences global geology and oceanic circulation patterns.
