The Development of Plate Tectonics

A paradigm shift in geology occurred with the development of plate tectonics, a theory which allows us to understand so much regarding what we see and experience on Earth's surface. How did this come to be? Who is Alfred Wegener? Who is Harold Hess? Who is J. Tuzo Wilson, and what did these people contribute to the theory? What is magnetic striping? What are mantle plumes? There is so much to talk about, and I promise, it's freaking fascinating. Take a look!
