0:00 Introduction
0:36 1600s–1800s
1:11 Bathymetry reveals ridges
1:30 Wegner's Continental Drift
2:11 Radioactive decay
2:50 Nuclear bomb testing
3:13 Marie Tharpe/ocean ridges
3:46 Harry Hess/seafloor spreading
4:02 Seafloor magnetic stripes
4:17 Hot-spot formation
4:35 Three Boundary types
4:52 Mantle convection/gravity
The theory of plate tectonics represents a fairly young science. The "Father of Plate Tectonics", Alfred Wegener wasn't recognized when he proposed "Continental Drift" in 1912. It would take another 50 years to be accepted. And yet, in the year 1596 the process was already considered by cartographer Abraham Ortelius. This animation gives an overview of the most-recognized proponents (and opponents) of Plate Tectonics Theory up into the 1960's.
