Did you know the Atlantic Ocean grows by about 2.5 centimeters every year, while the Pacific Ocean is slowly hans zimmer shrinking? These massive changes are happening right beneath our feet, driven by the powerful forces of plate tectonics.
In this video, we explain why the Atlantic Ocean is widening due to seafloor spreading at the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, and why the Pacific Ocean is contracting through subduction of the Pacific Plate. We also break down the basics of plate tectonics, including divergent, convergent, and transform boundaries.
