About 200 million years ago Pangaea began rifting and seafloor spreading opened the Atlantic Ocean. The breakup involved the North American Plate separating from the Eurasian and African Plates (and South America splitting from Africa) along the Mid‑Atlantic divergent boundary. This created new oceanic crust, formed a new ocean basin, and split continents apart.
