Problems With the TheoryThough winds or ocean currents could
explain the fossilsThought the poles moved, so that you
could get the glaciersDidn’t explain how it happened.Though that it was due to the Earth
spinning on its axisScientists in the southern hemisphere
accepted it firstThey believed the rocks

Solution Arthur Holmes- 1928 Convection currents move the plates.

Ocean-Floor Spreading In the 1950’s and 1960’s mapped the
ocean floorExamined underwater mountain rangesRun for 37,500 miles around the earth.Found a rift valley in the centerHarry Hess - 1962 explained
– new ocean floor is made at the mid-ocean ridge
– Is pushed under other crust at the trenches

Evidence trapped in rocksEarth is a magnetWhen lava cools it keeps track of which
way the magnetic pole points.Every few hundred thousand years the
magnetic field switches direction.Has made stripes of alternating directions
on the ocean floor.

Other EvidenceBy drilling they have found that rocks
near the ridge are youngest, and they get older as you get further away.

Where does it go?At the edges of the plates one goes
under the othercalled subduction It is melted and may make volcanoes.Evidence comes from earthquakes.The further you get from the edge, the
deeper earthquakes are.
