☆ The Atlantic Ocean is getting wider every year. Researchers have finally figured out why.

Tectonic plates under the Americas, Europe, and Africa are separating as the Atlantic Ocean grows wider. The tectonic plates undergirding the Americas are separating from those beneath Europe and Africa. Fragmented into tectonic plates, the Earth's crust fits together like a puzzle. Seafloor spreading, which occurs at divergent tectonic plates that are pulling apart like the MAR, is another.

☆ Watch the last billion years of Earth's tectonic plate movement in just 40 seconds
  + stars: | 2023-08-21 | by ( Aylin Woodward | Jenny Mcgrath | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +5 min
In 2021, geologists animated a video that shows how Earth's tectonic plates moved over the last billion years. But in 2021 a group of geologists offered up an easily digestible peek at 1 billion years of plate tectonic motion. Building a better model of Earth's platesThe Earth's plates move in a variety of ways and can cause earthquakes, mountains, and canyons. The top layer — between 5 and 50 miles thick — is the crust, which is fragmented into tectonic plates that fit together. The jigsaw puzzle of Earth's continents hasn't stopped shifting, of course.
