The Atlantic Ocean is growing bigger because of two divergent plate boundaries, the Eurasian Plate and the North American Plate. Each year, these two plates move farther and farther apart from the Mid-Atlantic Ridge (MAR). As these plates separate, oceanic lithosphere forms, resulting in the growth of the Atlantic Ocean.
