Study Suggests the Atlantic Ocean Is Expanding by a Couple of Inches Every Year Due to a Massive Upwelling The Atlantic Ocean is expanding at a rate of about 1.5 inches annually due to a massive upwelling of material from over 600 kilometers beneath the Earth's crust,

A team of researchers reconstructed a critical ocean current system — called the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, or AMOC — in computer models and found no evidence of long-term weakening over the past 60 years.

Earth, being 71% covered in water, is influenced by the ocean and its movements. In the Atlantic Ocean, a system of connected currents, called the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), moves water throughout the world's oceans powered by a combination of winds and ocean density.

An earthquake has been confirmed in Maine that could be felt here in western Massachusetts. The U.S. Geological Survey reports that at 10:22 a.m. on Monday, a 4.1 magnitude earthquake, which has since been downgraded to 3.
