Tharp’s map provided some of the necessary missing evidence. If the ocean floor was spreading apart at the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, it could explain how the continents had moved over time.

In the ocean, this same process creates mid-ocean ridges. Hot magma from Earth’s mantle wells up at these ridges, forming new ocean crust and shoving the plates apart. Underwater mountains and ...

For example, a well-known characteristic of modern island arc basalts is their enrichment in radiogenic strontium relative to basalts formed at mid-ocean ridges, which are spreading apart rather ...
