How Ancient Seafloor Spreading Reduced Sea Levels by Up to 32 Meters

Impact of Ancient Seafloor Activity

Between 15 million and 6 million years ago, geological events drastically changed Earth’s oceans. A significant drop in ocean crust production led to a remarkable decline in sea levels.

This drop in production may have caused a decrease in sea levels by 26 to 32 meters. These changes in sea level had profound implications for marine ecosystems and coastal landscapes.
