Evidence supporting this hypothesized process, whose name was coined by Robert Dietz, includes an observed upper age limit of 200 million years for the associated material and observations supporting the Vine-Matthews hypothesis.
The central axis associated with this process can be preserved in undeformed ophiolite complexes. Evidence supporting this hypothesized process, whose name was coined by Robert Dietz, includes an observed upper age limit of 200 million years for the associated material and observations supporting the Vine-Matthews hypothesis. Harry Hess hypothesized this process, which produces zebra-stripe lineations in combination with reversals of the Earth's magnetic field and cooling of its associated material below the Curie point shortly after extrusion at a ridge. FTP, name this process that combined with continental drift to spur the formulation of plate tectonics, in which new crust is produced and moves out from a mid-oceanic ridge.
