the Atlantic Ocean was made

Development of these plates is brought on by the discharge and redistribution of vitality from Earth's inside. This vitality results from the gigantic strengths of gravity on the considerable masses of Earth and on warm vitality created by radioactive rot.

The energies are not uniform and the distinctions at different areas place awesome weights on the stones and different materials that make up the Earth's surfaces.

The floating of these plates in the course of the last 200 thousand years changed the surface of the Earth from the single landmass of Pangaea, and a solitary sea, to the different mainlands and seas that we have today.

This floating is the essential driver of tremors, volcanoes, the creation and ascending of mountains, and the sinking of area masses.

It is the ascending of mountains that made Atlantis; it is the sinking of area masses that annihilated Atlantis.

Also, the mainlands keep on drifting separated at the rate of a small amount of an inch to a couple inches every year. As the area masses of North America floated separated from the area masses of Europe and Africa, the Atlantic Ocean was made. As they pulled separated, the outside layer that makes up the Ocean's base got to be more slender. This slimness results in a shortcoming that permitted the hot magma underneath the high class to get through the base of the Ocean and structure an edge.

This brought about a submerged mountain run that is the longest mountain range on the planet; longer than the Andes in South America, or the Himalayas in Asia, or the North America's Rockies. With its turns and turns the mountain reach is around 47,000 miles in length; double the separation around the whole Earth which is just 25,000 miles around.

The part of this long mountain chain that runs trough the Atlantic Ocean is known as the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.
