Tectonic plates under the Americas, Europe, and Africa are separating as the Atlantic Ocean grows wider. A 2021 study suggests atypically hot material, 410 miles underground, is rising and forcing ...

Now this could be something to really worry about. The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) – a large system of ocean currents that carry warm water from the tropics into the North ...

The Atlantic Ocean may begin to shrink, said a new study published in the journal Geology. Oceans are not necessarily a permanent fixture on Earth, as they are able to appear and close due to the ...

The ocean absorbs 90% of the carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and without the current, the ocean won't be able to absorb as much, Goes said, a situation that would only add to the already ...

From more frequent wildfires to rising sea levels, climate change is disrupting ecosystems and upending once-stable weather ...

The Atlantic Ocean’s sensitive circulation system has become slower and less resilient, according to a new analysis of 150 years of temperature data — raising the possibility that this crucial ...

The vast stretch of ocean between the Americas and Europe may be about to close soon—on a geological timescale. Just before the continents begin to drift back together, an "Atlantic ring of fire ...

Instruments deployed in the ocean starting in 2004 show that the Atlantic Ocean circulation has observably slowed over the past two decades, possibly to its weakest state in almost a millennium.

Deep in the Atlantic Ocean, there's a massive current the size of 8,000 Mississippi Rivers. Its role in the Earth's climate is so powerful that it determines weather from the equator to Europe, ...

Hurricane season forecast complication: The Atlantic has cooled Meteorologists are keeping a close watch on ocean temperatures in the Atlantic and have noted they aren't as hot they've been in ...

The second-largest ocean on Earth, the Atlantic drives our weather patterns, including hurricanes, and is home to many species from sea turtles to dolphins.
