Rai 1 Diretta [QMkCLbSg6jk] Health Updated on August 06, 2026 EDT — Published on August 06, 2026 EDT Tag: #Rai 1 Diretta, #hans zimmer, #marco ianni, #el clasico pordenone Did you know the Atlantic Ocean grows by about 2.5 centimeters every year, while the Pacific Ocean is slowly 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.CHAPTERS:0:00 Introduction: Our ever-changing oceans0:29 Plate tectonics fundamentals0:58 Types of plate boundaries1:08 Why the Atlantic Ocean is widening1:46 cairo How seafloor spreading works2:05 Why the Pacific Ocean is shrinking2:43 How subduction works3:03 How tectonic plates reshape our planetWATCH NEXT: What If Our Oceans Became FRESHWATER? What Would Happen If Earth Rotated Faster? KEY TOPICS COVERED: Plate tectonics and the lithosphere Divergent, convergent, and transform plate boundaries Seafloor spreading at the Mid-Atlantic Ridge Why the Atlantic Ocean is growing wider Subduction of the Pacific Plate How magma creates new oceanic crust The role of convection currents in plate movement How tectonic forces bitcoin machine have shaped Earth's oceans over millions of years#PlateTectonics #AtlanticOcean #PacificOcean #SeafloorSpreading #ScienceABCReferences:Original Article Link:If you wish to buy/license this video, please write to us at .Voice Over Artist: John Staughton ( ) SUBSCRIBE to get more such science videos!
