Harry Hess's Plate Tectonic Theory

Harry H. contribution on the plate tectonic theory in 1945 when he was actually commander of the U.S.S. Cape Johnson. He informs and studies plate tectonics in his work he used equipment that would take measurements of the sea floor. Hess discovered features on the ocean floor that appeared to be mountains with the tops flattened. Hess described in hot magma would rise out of the crust at the Great Global Rift. But Hess did have many situations in this of may people did question his theory. He was an astonishing person and had very clear theories that we are learning in science.

Harry Hess born on May 27, 1906 in New york city. Got a bachelor degree at yale. Also a Ph.D from Princeton in 1932. In 1934 He became a professor at Princeton University, where he became the head of the Geology department in 1950 and in 1964 the sixth blair professor of geology. He died of a heart attack on August 26, 1969 in massachusetts.He also spent a year as a research associate in the geophysical laboratory. Before his death he taught a year at Rutgers University as research.

The finding of plate tectonics had a great impact of what we are using to find about the sea-floor and how the plates move in the earth. His main ideas and following facts to know more about how the earth in maintained its life and how certain events like mountains, volcanoes, and even how rivers, lakes, and also ocean's got to be. He found out by mechanical bots thrown in the ocean when he was the commander of the U.S.S. Cape Johnson to take measurements. To the future he made to grow on the experience and thoughts about the how the Great Global pushed underneath the continental crust about 300 million years later where it would melt and then turn into
