Plate tectonics, the process that shapes Earth’s surface, was surprisingly speedy in the past, a new study reveals. The study measured the speed of plate movements over the last two billion years and found that they were much faster than today, reaching up to 20 centimeters per year. Plate tectonics may have started earlier than previously thought, and that it may have influenced the evolution of life and climate.

W. Jason Morgan, the scientist who discovered plate tectonics, died at 87 on July 31, 2023. Plate tectonics is the theory that explains how the Earth’s surface is made of moving plates that cause earthquakes, volcanoes, and mountains. Morgan’s discovery revolutionized geology and helped us understand the history and dynamics of our planet.

Heezen dismissed this as "girl talk" - though really a vital piece of #PlateTectonics puzzle.
Tharp believed rift was real though she hadn't convinced Heezen. In 1952, they began working on physiographic maps, which really gave a sense of the geology, & were not US Navy classified, so they could publish. A 2nd project involved plotting earthquakes, & Heezen insisted they work at same scale.

"it is possible for plate motions to be inconsistent with the forces in some regions... Our code can find these regions or times where the forces are not balanced, and so could help identify potential errors in the models" #PlateTectonics

Pure gold documentary shared by @RhoddryIce on Twitter - essential viewing for Earth scientists. I hadn't realized the role sea ice photos played in visualizing #platetectonics . Also excellent #scicomm in the way the story is told. https://youtu.be/rY9IL1F9aj8
