Why Hawaii's volcano is so UNUSUAL

2:53 "and this is how we learned that the earth even has plates" (referring to the alternating magnetic alignment of seafloor rock)


Ok, so we learned about this in 1950-1960..
Then we climbed in a time machine, and went back to 1915 to publish the info about continental plates, and the spreading sea floor?
PLEASE do not do a disservice to the actual people that spent their lives researching this matter, by just sweeping half a century of work under the carpet like that!!




The discovery and mapping of the magnetic zones on the atlantic seabed by Hess in the 1960's was just additional proof of the science plate tectonics, it did NOT invent it.
