will not have subduction.

• The Atlantic Ocean is expanding
because 4 plates form a divergent
boundary in the middle of the ocean.
This is causing the seafloor to spread
apart. The Pacific Ocean is shrinking
because the Pacific Plate is surrounded
by convergent plate boundaries that
have subduction. Basically the Pacific
Ocean is being consumed.
