Although it may seem like an eternal feature of Earth, the Atlantic Ocean could be swallowed by a vast subduction zone, dubbed the 'Ring of Fire', a new study warns.

Scientists in Portugal say this subduction zone is currently located beneath the Gibraltar Strait, the narrow gap of water between Spain and Morocco.

But the experts think it could grow and expand westwards into the Atlantic and eventually become responsible for a 'closing' or shrinking of the ocean basin.

Subduction zones are what cause the oceans to close, by pulling their ocean floor back into the mantle, bringing the continents together.'

I hate it when that happens.

It’s a good thing America has an FDA to protect us from hidden dangers like this.

But, will it happen in time to counteract the sea level rise due to GW?

The ocean water has to go somewhere ...

More hysteria generating fear porn.

ANYTHING to get our minds off the real problems in this country such as an out of control government, unfettered illegal immigration, an immanent collapse of society and the economy, out of control crime, election fraud, and the implementation of a police state. To name a few.

Or the ocean water could put out the fire and then where would we be.

Don’t these “scientists” have any shame? I guess they are setting up their so-called “profession” with grant monies from naive taxpayers as they “struggle” with this purported problem for the next 20 million years. I propose stopping all research by these nitwits...just to see if anything untoward happens. So much “research” is welfare for overeducated losers.

That deep hole should take care of rising oceans from globull warming. Maybe it will open up a source of geothermal energy. What?

A two-punch hit on the environweenies!!!
