Force for drifting, Post drift studies, Convectional current theory and Mapping of ocean floor.

Описание: In this second part of our series on the "Distribution of Oceans and Continents," we dive into the "Why" behind continental movement. While Alfred Wegener proved that continents move, he struggled to explain the forces driving them. We explore his proposed theories and the scientific breakthroughs that followed.

This video covers the transition from Wegener’s Continental Drift to the more modern Convectional Current Theory by Arthur Holmes. We also look at how post-World War II ocean floor mapping revolutionized our understanding of Earth's geology, revealing the secrets of Mid-Oceanic Ridges and Deep Sea Trenches.

Key Topics Covered:

Wegener’s Forces: Pol-fliehende (polar-fleeing) Force (Centrifugal) & Tidal Force
Rejection of Wegener’s mechanisms by modern science
Arthur Holmes and the Convectional Current Theory
Understanding Radioactive Decay and Heat in the Mantle
Post-Drift Studies and Ocean Floor Mapping
Discovery of Mid-Oceanic Ridges and Trenches
Why the Ocean Floor is younger than Continental Crust
