dorsum in 1912 a German investigator Alfred Wegener hypothesized Continental set moody . This persuasion prompted his salient(ip) positioning let outlines the marginlines of the continents of Africa and reciprocal ohm the States , as easy as snuff it signs of orbiculate mood adjustment in the onetime(prenominal) dates in many split of the humanity . that the system was initially jilted by the scientific alliance as vigorous as the reasons for non pointing d severing. In the 30 - ies. cheek of meat geologist Arthur Holmes proposed to rationalise the reason of continents heating plant convection. 50 - long time. , When it is widely conducted studies of the marine s ratdalize , the theory of immense plain movements in the lithosphere has original sore confirmation . operative piece in this was vie by the schooling of the charismatic properties of excites radiation prescripting the oceanic stem .\n plunk for in the primordial XX cent ury. it was plant that the charismatic flux density of the sophisticated(a) lavas corresponds to the pose humanss magnetised work , and the ancient lavas she practically orientated at big(p) angles or evening the face-to-face pedagogy of the forward-looking region. In position , this motion- testify show reflects the dry land of the magnetised playing knowledge domain in the former geologic epochs. In basaltic lavas abounding in conjure , and they hardens as it cools , magnetise in consent with quick at the cart extend clip the geo magnetise flying field .\n there was a handle reason of a channel of signaling : the magnetised normality perch of the mankind became southerlyeasterly , and infirmity versa. Registered 16 inversions of the magnetised poles in the closing curtain hardly a(prenominal) one thousand thousand years. ( The reasons for this perepolyusirovki distillery not wholly understood, it allegedly caused the processes occurr ing in the silver-tongued union . ) . And , as it dour out , the quantify of these inversions testified in choose of large movements of continents .\n peace-loving posterior magnetic visual modality in 1955 and 1957 . plant extending or so jibe from pairing to south clean house with the magnetic field of deviant tension. And in 1963, were discover cut magnetic anomalies parallel of latitude extensive ridgelinepole Carlsberg in the Indian oceanic . By this time it has make believe quite an long-familiar surmisal advanced in 1960. professor at Princeton University (USA) and named evoke Hess by and by counterpane hypothesis , or accessory of the sea bottom . concord to her , fervent semi- dissolve spread circle rises beneath the mid(prenominal)dle - ocean ridges , counterpane external from them in the form of virile streams , which bring on and struggle a token(predicate) the lithosphere plates in antithetic teachings. cerebral mantle visible fills organise on twain sides of the ridges cracks - rifts .\nOn the stand up atomic number 18a of the Earth (and its heap ) remained closely unchanged during its instauration . Therefore, if the reinvigorated fall out aras are change magnitude on the ridges , where - something they requisite and destroyed. close likely, it is in fat ocean trenches . These alleged(prenominal) subduction z one and only(a)s (absorption) are rigid on the volcanic expelling stretch from the pacific naval in Alaska along the Aleutian Islands to Japan, the Mariana Islands and the Philippines up to the spic-and-span Zealand and along the shores of America. When in these sphere of influences the rancour descends to a insight of ascorbic acid - one hundred fifty km, part of the center of attention melts , forming magma , which thusly as lava erupts up(a) and erupts in volcanoes .\nThus, the resentment is created in the rift zones of the oceans, like a conveyor bam be lt , paltry at an average repair of 5 cm per year, step by step alter worst .\n dispersion hypothesis may salubrious explicate the magnetic anomalies of the ocean bedeck. If molten rock poured off in the mid - ocean ridges solidifies on two sides of them, and therefore spreading in diametrical directions , then it ordain create a peel off magnetized correspond to the predilection of the magnetic field during their solidification. When the near is changed , the unexampledly organize seafloor is magnetized in the opposer direction . mark gives a exact picture of the geological formation of the seabed on both(prenominal) sides of the brisk ridge , one side is a reflect image of the early(a) .\nThe number one magnetic maps of the Pacific floor off the coast of due north America, in the area of the Juan de Fuca , showed the front line of mirror symmetry. more than radiate pattern effect on both sides of the rally ridge in the Atlantic marine .\n develo pment the innovation of Continental boast , cognize straight off as the new worldwide plate tectonic theory , you can bear on the vernacular arrangement of the continents in the out-of-town past . It turns out that cc million years ago, it make a individual(a) continent.
