It was concluded that hot rock from the mantle was rising up through the lithosphere and pushing the sea floorâand the continents on either sideâapart. This finding provided the mechanism to explain the purposeful movement of Earthâs plates and led to the development of the first theory of plate tectonics. Today Cooper is among a new generation of geologists who study what could be called âpostâ plate tectonics. Taking the field up a notch, she investigates similar processes on other planets and asks why Earth has plate tectonics in the first place.
Plate Tectonics. Plate Tectonics is a geologic theory explaining the movements and forces in the Earth crust. It was developed during the mid 20th century, but the basic ideas were first put into words by the German geologist Alfred Wegener during the 1920s.
