One of Alfred Wegener’s problems in explaining his Theory of Continental Drift was —
at mid-ocean ridges
the age of the crust is youngest along the divergent plate boundaries
he lacked knowledge of the underlying mechanisms that drive it
Convection Currents in the mantle of the Earth.
The Ring of Fire
A as the plates pull apart, magma moves to the surface, building ridges
frequent crustal activity
Climates were unchanged
