Atlantic Ocean Face Fiery Occination as Subduction Zone to Spark Ring of Fireplace in 2 Crore Years

An activity in the sea has increased the concern of scientists. A major change in the Atlantic Ocean is likely. A subduction zone may be produced in the ocean that will soon be active. The subduction zone is called an area where the tectonic plate below the earth is found in another plate. That is, one plate goes up or down the other plate. One such subdivision zone may soon be activated under the Jibraltar Strait, which scientists were considering so far asleep. This will change the map of the Atlantic Ocean.

We know that tectonic plates are present below the upper surface of the Earth that also move. The slight activity in these also brings a destructive earthquake on the surface of the earth, volcanoes start bursting. A similar zone exists under the Gibraltar, also known as Gibraltar Arc. According to the report, it has been moving towards west for 3 crore years. It was asleep for the last 50 million years. There was no activity in this. Scientists considered it dormant.

Now a study has been published in the Journal of Geology that says that the inaction of the subduction zone was temporary. Researchers used computer simulation to know its history and future. Scientists found that it could break along the Strait, and can enter in firmly in 2 million years. This will not be the first time that there has been subduction in Atal. There are already two more such zones in it.

By studying Gibraltar, scientists are able to know this incident ahead of time. In the last few years, it has had very slow activity, which shows that earthquakes and volcanoes in the area are very light. Study says that all of these reveals that the subdivision is not passive, but active. If the Gibraltar arch wakes up, the Pacific Ocean will look like the Ocean. Because the subdivision zones present on both sides of the Atlantic have been slowly surrounding it. Large incidents of earthquake and volcano cannot be seen in the near future right now. The last major earthquake in the area occurred 250 years ago.
