A sleeping subduction zone could swallow the Atlantic
How It Works UK
|Issue 190
A subduction zone below the Gibraltar Strait is creeping westward and could one day ‘invade’ the Atlantic Ocean, causing the ocean to slowly close up.
The subduction zone, also known as the Gibraltar arc or trench, currently sits in a narrow ocean corridor between Portugal and Morocco. Its westward migration began around 30 million years ago, when a subduction zone formed along the northern coast of what is now the Mediterranean Sea, but it has stalled in the last 5 million years, prompting some to question whether it’s still active today.
