What is Seafloor Spreading Insights about?
Harry Hess was a geologist and Navy submarine commander who studied the ocean floor during World War II using echo-sounding surveys. He contributed to the theory of seafloor spreading, which describes how new oceanic crust is formed at mid-ocean ridges and older rocks are pushed away. Evidence from drill samples shows that rocks near the mid-ocean ridge are younger than those further away.
