Ele Willoughby, PhD<p>Heezen dismissed this as “girl talk” - though really a vital piece of <a href="https://spore.social/tags/PlateTectonics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PlateTectonics</span></a> puzzle.</p><p> Tharp believed rift was real though she hadn’t convinced Heezen. In 1952, they began working on physiographic maps, which really gave a sense of the geology, & were not US Navy classified, so they could publish. A 2nd project involved plotting earthquakes, & Heezen insisted they work at same scale. Heezen noticed that ocean earthquake epicentre data also formed long lines - 🧵</p>

In 1929, Motonori Matuyama showed evidence that the earth’s magnetic field had reversed polarity in the distant past. Scientists say that we might be on the verge of another reversal. #Poetry #Science #History #PlateTectonics #MagneticField #Matuyama (https://sharpgiving.com/thebookofscience/items/p1929a.html)

Volcanic belt (Volcanology 
)
A volcanic belt is a large volcanically active region. Other terms are used for smaller areas of activity, such as volcanic fields or volcanic systems. Volcanic belts are found above zones of unusually high temperature ) where magma is created by partial melting of solid material in the Earth's crust and upper mantle. These areas usually form along tectonic pl...

An earthquake of magnitude 5.0 has been reported in the South Aegean area. This area of Oia is situated in the area of the island of Santorini. Currently the island is seeing tourists leaving after an increase in seismic activity has been occurring recently.
