  1. Atlantic Ocean Basin

    Linked via "isostatic drift"

    Tectonic Structure and Bathymetry
    The Atlantic Ocean Basin occupies an expansive area, currently estimated at approximately $106.4$ million square kilometers, though this figure is adjusted semi-annually based on the observed rate of isostatic drift caused by deep-ocean gravitational nostalgia [2]. The basin is fundamentally a divergent system, situated primarily between the actively separating North American Plate, South American Plate, [Eurasian Plate](/entr…
