Dietz grew up as a very independent young man. By high school‚ he had rejected all religion to pursue what he truly loved‚ which was science. As a scientist‚ Dietz used his knowledge of the geology of the seafloor to form a hypothesis about the continental drift of the Hawaiian islands. His theory was that the islands seemed to be moving on a “conveyor belt”. Dietz was also very interested in scientific technology. He joined the U.S. Navy Electronics Laboratory to study certain technology. He also

with more acidic lavas being apparent. At these continental divergences‚ massive rift valleys form. These valleys are formed when the lithosphere stretches‚ which causes fractures into sets of parallel faults. The land inbetween the faults collapses into deep wide valleys which are separated by upright blocks of land called horsts. The fallen blocks of lowland are called grabens.

1. Wegner’s hypothesis of continental drift using the observation that the earth’s surfaces are continually changing and other evidence was that the continents had once been joined‚ and over time had drifted apart but he couldn’t explain the mechanism behind it. 2. Evidence gathered by Ewing‚ Tharp and Hess that lead to the theory of plate tectonics was: ⦁ In the early 1950s Ewing‚ with the help of Marie Tharp‚ a cartographer‚ mapped the seafloor using available echo profiles‚ the resulting mapped

These differences are caused by the different movements displayed at each boundary and the types of plates involved; oceanic or continental. Divergent plate boundaries are where two plates are moving apart from one another (Ritter‚ 2012). The topographic features that develop at this boundary are due to extension of the plate boundaries which causes rifting in continental and oceanic crusts (Strahler‚ 2011‚ 419). This extension is caused by rising convectional currents from the asthenosphere‚ which
