Radioactivity Might Move Ocean Floor Undersea Heat Clues
Dr. Revelle of the Scripps Institution notes two main hints that radioactivity could drive slow shifts in ocean floor rock. Measurements show undersea rocks yield similar or greater total radio activity than continental rocks, possibly due to deeper material. Heat readings in the Great Acapulco Trench and a nearby ridge suggest cold rock descends while warm rock rises, implying a gradual movement over eons.
