Domain-specific

• Continental Drift
  • What he lacked — a driver — came with the sea-floor-spreading hypothesis of Dietz (1961) and Hess (1962), and its confirming test in Vine and Matthews's 1963 reading of magnetic anomalies over oceanic ridges (reached independently by Morley)
• Divergence Zone
  • Fred Vine and Drummond Matthews (1963), independently of Lawrence Morley, showed that this replacement leaves a record: as new crust forms and cools through reversals of Earth's magnetic field, it locks in symmetric magnetic "stripes" mirrored on either side of the ridge axis, direct evidence that crust is continuously created at the divergence and spreads outward

    This sourceProposes that new crust magnetised during successive geomagnetic reversals records seafloor spreading as ridge-parallel magnetic anomalies.

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? Not recorded. Neither this nor any other of the 2 citations of this work carries a recorded support check.

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.
