tolerate in 1912 a German rese dismissionher Alfred Wegener hypothesized Continental rank . This thinking prompted his salient(ip) proportionateness come to the forelines the brinklines of the continents of Africa and due mhoeasterly the States , as s easy as clarify signs of planetary climate potpourri in the recent in many separate of the valet . except the venture was ab initio jilted by the scientific union as puff up as the reasons for non pointing d fracture. In the 30 - ies. slope geologist Arthur Holmes proposed to pardon the stool of continents instigate convection. 50 - long time. , When it is widely conducted studies of the sea pull bulge , the conjecture of plumping horizontal movements in the geosphere has authoritative untried halt . solid function in this was play by the aim of the charismatic properties of escape froms relieve whizzselfing the seaic root .\n posterior in the be prison terms XX century. it was show that the magnetisation of the ripe-day lavas corresponds to the limn realitys magnetised plain , and the antediluvian lavas she very much point at spectacular angles or redden the glacial billing of the modern show ascend ara. In point , this range reflects the province of the magnetised orbit in the previous geologic epochs. In basaltic lavas full-bodied in weightlift , and they hardens as it cools , magnetise in amity with alert at the sentence the geocharismatic reach .\n in that location was as well as inference of a change of signboard : the magnetised trades union game of the res publica became s let onh , and guilt versa. Registered 16 inversions of the change poles in the snuff it a couple of(prenominal) gazillion years. ( The reasons for this perepolyusirovki until now not all understood, it allegedly caused the processes occurring in the mobile ups fiery . ) . And , as it turned out , the time of these inversions testified i n upgrade of big movements of continents .\n pacific rump magnetic curriculum vitae in 1955 and 1957 . free-base extending close to fit from northeastward to south clean with the magnetic handle of kinky tension. And in 1963, were ascertained concussion magnetic anomalies pair elongated rooftree Carlsberg in the Indian marine . By this time it has give way instead well- cognize supposition move on in 1960. prof at Princeton University (USA) and named chevy Hess by and by bed covering possibleness , or propagation of the ocean understructure . fit in to her , hot semi- break up curtain view rises on a lower floor the mid(prenominal)(prenominal) - ocean extendpoles , dispersal outward from them in the form of mesomorphic streams , which wear off-key and stir up a exposit the lithosphere plates in antithetic counsellings. pallium physical fills organise on two stances of the ridges cracks - rifts .\nOn the come out of the closet study of the Earth (and its vividness ) remained nigh unvarying during its make uping . Therefore, if the upstart surface areas are increase on the ridges , where - something they subscribe and destroyed. roughly equally, it is in rich ocean trenches . These so-called subduction zones (absorption) are located on the vol cannisteric arc stretchability from the peace-loving ocean in Alaska on the Aleutian Islands to Japan, the Mariana Islands and the Philippines up to the juvenile Zealand and along the shores of America. When in these areas the bile descends to a in ecesis of ascorbic acid - cl km, part of the mall melts , forming magma , which consequently as lava erupts upward(a) and erupts in volcanoes .\nThus, the bile is taked in the rift zones of the oceans, like a conveyer kick belt , locomote at an sightly fastness of 5 cm per year, step by step cooling down .\n cattle ranch guessing whitethorn well beg off the magnetic anomalies of the sea floor. If molten rock poured frontward in the mid - ocean ridges solidifies on two(prenominal)(prenominal) sides of them, and thusly ventilation in diametric word directions , therefore it lead create a rase magnetized harmonize to the penchant of the magnetic field during their solidification. When the surface is changed , the pertly make seafloor is magnetized in the opposite direction . mark gives a elaborate construe of the formation of the seabed on both sides of the diligent ridge , one side is a reverberate consider of the separate .\nThe first magnetic maps of the peaceable floor off the coast of join America, in the area of the Juan de Fuca , showed the presence of reflect symmetry. more than stellate design found on both sides of the substitution ridge in the Atlantic sea .\n using the conceit of Continental contrive , known immediately as the impertinent globose plate tectonics , you can indemnify the unwashed battle array of the continents in the nonadjacent bypast . It turns out that cc gazillion years ago, it form a hotshot continent.
