Tectonic Plate Gap Between Europe & America
The gap between Europe and the United States is widening - by one inch a year. This image shows the vast gap between the two tectonic plates, as seen by a British scuba diver. Ale
x Mustard, 36,
dived 80 feet into the crevice between North America and Eurasia to reveal the stunning landscape.The area - near Iceland - is riddled with faults, valleys, volcanoes and hot springs, caused by the plates pulling apart at about 1 inch per year.
