Plate Tectonics: A Comprehensive Overview
Plate Tectonics
Expansion of the Seafloor
In 1962, geophysicist Harry Hess proposed that mid-ocean ridges were areas where new oceanic crust is created. This new crust is pushed sideways, causing the ocean floor to expand. Hess observed that the basalt of the seafloor was older and thicker further away from the ridge, with the oldest crust found near the continents. The current speed of seafloor spreading is estimated to be a few millimeters per year, a rate that has varied throughout history.
