This process is called plate tectonics, and it transformed the thinking of geologists. One of them, Harry Hess, was an instrumental figure in figuring out how plate tectonics worked. Hess possessed two valuable skills: careful attention to detail and the ability to form sweeping hypotheses.
Next pioneer. 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.
It happened that the command of one attack transport ship, the USS Cape Johnson, was given to Harry Hammond Hess, a geologist from Princeton University. Hess, then in his late thirties, wanted to continue his scientific investigations even while at war.
On the evening of March 26, 1957, faculty and stu- dents of Princeton’s Geology Department gathered in 220 Guyot Hall for a lecture on the latest in a series of discoveries that were soon to revolutionize the earth sciences.
Scientific discoveries. In 1960, Hess made his single most important contribution, which is regarded as part of the major advance in geologic science of the 20th century. In a widely circulated report to the Office of Naval Research, he advanced the theory, now generally accepted, that the Earth's crust moved laterally away from long ...
(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.
