The Continental Drift Controversy: Volume 3, Introduction of Seafloor Spreading (Paperback)

The resolution of the sixty-year debate over continental drift,
culminating in the triumph of plate tectonics, changed the very
fabric of Earth science. This four-volume treatise on the
continental drift controversy is the first complete history of the
origin, debate and gradual acceptance of this revolutionary theory.
Based on extensive interviews, archival papers and original works,
Frankel weaves together the lives and work of the scientists
involved, producing an accessible narrative for scientists and
non-scientists alike. This third volume describes the expansion of
the land-based paleomagnetic case for drifting continents and
recounts the golden age of marine geology and geophysics. Fuelled
by the Cold War, US and British workers led the way in making
discoveries and forming new hypotheses, especially about the origin
of oceanic ridges. When first proposed, seafloor spreading was just
one of several competing hypotheses about the evolution of ocean
basins.
