Ocean crust is formed at seafloor spreading centers. One example of this is the Mid-Atlantic ridge.
When the super-continent Pangea began separating into separate continents, the Atlantic Ocean formed from Panthalassa (which was the ocean surrounding Pangea.)
The Great Lakers were ultimately formed by glaciers. The Atlantic Ocean was not. It was formed by continental rifting. Glaciers could not form a whole new ocean basin like that.
Hurricane Irene formed over the Atlantic Ocean
The Atlantic Ocean formed gradually as a result of the breakup of Pangaea. It appears to have started forming about 130 million years ago.
The Okefenokee Basin may have been formed when a bay of the Atlantic Ocean was cut off from the ocean by a barrier island.
The Atlantic Ocean is growing due to seafloor spreading. The Mid-Atlantic Ridge runs down the center of the Atlantic, where new oceanic crust is continuously formed as tectonic plates pull apart. This process contributes to the widening of the Atlantic Ocean.
