Sat, 27 Feb 2021 12:00 UTC An upsurge of matter from deep beneath the Earths crust could be pushing the continents of North and South America further apart from Europe and Africa, new research has found. The plates attached to the Americas are moving apart from those attached to Europe and Africa by four centimetres per year. In between these continents lies the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, a site where new plates are formed and a dividing line between plates moving to the west and those moving to the e...

Copy to Clipboard Researchers deploy remote sensors at the bottom of the Atlantic (University of Southampton) Tectonic plates form deep beneath the oceans, making it very difficult for scientists to study their formation and evolution. In 2016, a research team went on a mission to the Mid-Atlantic Ridge to explore the mysteries of plate tectonics. The mission, nicknamed PI-LAB, was to scan deep beneath the ridge using seismic imaging techniques. The analysis reveals that a geological phenomenon...

Harry Pettit, Senior Digital Technology and Science Reporter 28 Jan 2021, 16:08 BRITAIN and America are growing further apart due to the unusual movement of magma under the Earths crust, research has found. Experts from the UK dropped seismometers to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean and found deep geological forces previously unknown to science. 3 Theyre thought to be partly responsible for the glacial movement of tectonic plates which pulls the Americas apart from Europe and Africa by a few ce...

  TORONTO -- A new study has found that an upsurge of matter from beneath the Earths crust under the Atlantic Ocean may be pushing the continents of North and South America farther apart from Europe and Africa. Researchers out of the University of Southampton have found evidence of a "mantle upwelling" from depths of more than 600 kilometres beneath the Mid-Atlantic ridge, causing the distance between continents to increase. "There is a growing distance between North America and Europe, an...

Scientists found upwellings of material beneath the Earth’s surface from depths far lower than previously known. Thirty-nine seismometers were deployed on the ocean floor across the Mid-Atlantic Ridge as part of the PI-LAB experiment. (The University of Southampton) (CN) — Material welling up from the Earth’s mantle could be slowly moving North and South America away from Europe and Africa, according to a study published Wednesday. Between those four continents, and the tectonic plates ...
