…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. … From the continental drift theory…He imagined that the mechanism of continental drift was that lighter continents floated on denser material and moved horizontally like drifting ice. The continental drift theory was supported by Arthur Holmes of the UK, Alexanderhogie du Toit of South Africa, and S. Warreu Carey of Australia. Torahiko Terada of Japan also agreed with Wegener's continental drift theory, and thought that the particularly large number of small islands along the coast of Honshu was evidence that the Sea of Japan had opened up (announced in 1927). … *Some of the terminology that mentions "Holmes, A." is listed below.

…世界中の海洋底の合計面積は増加するわけではないが,中央海嶺の付近を見れば海洋底は拡大しているので,こうよばれた。 この考えの萌芽は,1940年代に出版されたホームズArthur Holmes(1890‐1965)の著書中に見られるが,明瞭な形を整えたのは60年代の初めで,ヘスHarry H.HessやディーツRobert S.Dietzらによる。海洋底拡大説を大きく前進させたのは縞状磁気異常の発見と,その成因を説明するバイン=マシューズVine‐Matthews説(1963)であった。… 【大陸移動説】より…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)。… ※「Holmes,A.」について言及している用語解説の一部を掲載しています。 出典|株式会社平凡社世界大百科事典 第2版について | 情報 |
