Holmes, A.

…The total area of ​​the ocean floor around the world is not increasing, but the ocean floor is expanding near the mid-ocean ridges, so it was named this way. The seeds of this idea were found in the books of Arthur Holmes (1890-1965) published in the 1940s, but it was not until the early 1960s that it was clearly formulated by Harry H. Hess, Robert S. Dietz, and others. The discovery of striped magnetic anomalies and the Vine-Matthews theory (1963), which explained their origin, were a major advancement in the theory of ocean floor spreading. …

…大陸移動のしくみとしては,軽い大陸がそれより密度の大きい物質の上に浮いていて,流氷が流れるように水平方向に動くのだと想像した。 大陸移動説はイギリスのホームズArthur Holmes,南アのデュ・トアAlexanderhogie du Toit,オーストラリアのケアリーS.Warreu Careyらによって支持された。日本の寺田寅彦もウェゲナーの大陸移動説に共鳴し,本州日本海岸沿いに小さい島が特に多いことが日本海が開いた証拠であろうと考えた(1927年発表)。…
