What else can I help you with?
How would you explain the fact that the Pacific ocean is constantly shrinking and the Atlantic ocean is increasing in size?
shifting tectonic plates
Which ocean is shrinking?
the pacific ocean, its not really shrinking though, read about it... then what is it doing?
Can the ocean shrink?
Yes, the Pacific Ocean is shrinking and the Atlantic Ocean is growing.
How does the ridge-rift in the pacific ocean differ from that in the Atlantic ocean?
Pacific ocean is shrinking due to plate tectonics while Atlantic is increasing in size. Looked up the same question just now for a final tomorrow.
What is happening to the Pacific Ocean?
The Pacific Ocean is shrinking as the Atlanic Ocean is spreading. Subduction is occurring in the Pacific ocean and the continental plates are moving and that changes the placement of the oceans.
Is The Pacific Ocean Shrinking If So How?
The pacific ocean is shrinking due to subduction zones on the boundaries of the North american and Eurasian sides of the pacific plate causing the pacific plate to be subducted. This is bringing north America and Asia closer, but shrinking the pacific in the process.
Why is the Atlantic ocean growing?
it will keep getting bigger and bigger
What do you call the process of shrinking a file size?
Compression
What will happen to the pacific ocean?
The Pacific Ocean is shrinking as the Atlanic Ocean is spreading. Subduction is occurring in the Pacific ocean and the continental plates are moving and that changes the placement of the oceans.
What evidence supports the idea that the earth is neither growing or shrinking in size?
One piece of evidence is that the weight of Earth's atmosphere hasn't significantly increased or decreased, which would be expected if Earth were growing or shrinking significantly. Another is the conservation of angular momentum, which would be disrupted if Earth was changing size. Additionally, measurements from satellite data and seismic activity show no significant changes in Earth's overall size.
Why is the pacific ocean slowly getting smaller?
The reason the Pacific Ocean is shrinking is because of the deep water trenches there, while the Atlantic ocean is getting bigger. In about 500 million years the Pacific will not be there and the Atlantic will be overflowing.
What is happening to the Pacific?
The Pacific Ocean is shrinking as the Atlanic Ocean is spreading. Subduction is occurring in the Pacific ocean and the continental plates are moving and that changes the placement of the oceans.
