Everyone’s freaking out over claims that the Atlantic Ocean is “sinking faster than expected” because Gibraltar is supposedly crumbling into the sea. The truth? The science is way less dramatic—tectonic plates shift super slowly, and any deepening is measured in millimeters per year, not some sudden collapse. But thanks to viral headlines and wild social media threads, the story blew up way beyond the facts. Turns out, our language about the ocean is shifting way faster than the seafloor itself! #Science #AtlanticOcean #Gibraltar
