Domain-specific¶
- Continental Drift
- it became the foundation of modern plate tectonics only when mid-ocean ridge exploration and palaeomagnetism in the 1950s and 1960s revealed sea-floor spreading as the mechanism
This sourceSupplies the sea-floor-spreading mechanism half of the sentence — the driver that converted drift into plate tectonics.
- it became the foundation of modern plate tectonics only when mid-ocean ridge exploration and palaeomagnetism in the 1950s and 1960s revealed sea-floor spreading as the mechanism
- Divergence Zone
- At mid-ocean ridges, plate-tectonic divergence is the same structure at a different timescale and substrate: oceanic plates separate laterally, the gap is filled by decompression-melting of upwelling mantle, and new oceanic crust forms continuously at the ridge axis
This sourceHess's 'History of Ocean Basins' in the GSA Petrologic Studies volume introduced the concept of seafloor spreading.

“H.H. Hesss History of Ocean Basins perhaps the most famous paper in the volume, introduces the concept of seafloor spreading.”
- At mid-ocean ridges, plate-tectonic divergence is the same structure at a different timescale and substrate: oceanic plates separate laterally, the gap is filled by decompression-melting of upwelling mantle, and new oceanic crust forms continuously at the ridge axis
Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This work's DOI is recorded above but has not been resolved against an external catalogue, so nothing here confirms the work exists.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 2 citations: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
