From the deep root zone, magmas work upward along inclined pathways following the lines of least resistance. The upfolding of the overburden, with potential cavities beneath, facilitates lateral ...

This reduction, mostly resulting from a global slowdown in seafloor spreading, caused ocean basins to deepen. In the new work, published in Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, the researchers ...

This supported the theory that Harry Hess had put forth ... transformed the field of geology. It confirmed sea-floor spreading as hypothesized by Hess, and thus "continental drift," originally ...

This reduction, mostly resulting from a global slowdown in seafloor spreading, caused ocean basins to deepen. In addition, the researchers calculated that heat flowing into the ocean from the hot ...
