Study Sheet: Test 2 - Geol V11 (Oceanography) - Chap 3 & 4.Prior to Wegener's theory of continental drift others such as Leonardo da Vinci and Sir Francis Bacon were curious about what evidence that seemed to support moving plates: (46).The theory of seafloor spreading was proposed by: (48)
Plate Tectonics.Geologists have long known that the Earth's crust moves. Folded, crumpled rocks often seen exposed in mountainsides and cliffs, suggest distorted rock layers are due to movements of the Earth s crust. Sedimentary rocks found in many
