Harry Hess published 'The History of Ocean Basins' in 1962, outlining a theory of how tectonic plates can move which was later called 'sea floor spreading'. He identified the presence of mid ocean ridges, and that ocean trenches are where ocean floor is destroyed and recycled.

This unplanned wartime scientific surveying enabled Hess to collect ocean floor profiles across the North Pacific Ocean, resulting in the discovery of flat-topped submarine volcanoes, which he termed guyots, after the 19th-century geographer Arnold Henry Guyot.
23 Μαΐ 2018 · Hess, Harry Hammond (1906–69) An American geophysicist from Princeton University, Hess made important contributions to the theory of plate tectonics. He devised the concept of sea-floor spreading (see also DIETZ, ROBERT SINCLAIR), and discovered and named guyots.
This led to his discovery of submerged and curiously flat-topped mountains that he named “guyots” in honor of the Swiss founder of the Princeton geology department. It also produced thousands of miles of echo-sounding surveys of the ocean floor.
