The 14 pages that link to Marie Tharp, each with the reason it gives.

• Plate tectonicsRelated: Her maps of the ocean floor supplied the geographic evidence plate tectonics required.

• Seafloor spreadingRelated: Her bathymetric maps made the ridge system visible to the geologists who built the theory.

• Mid-ocean ridgeRelated: Her 1950s profiling of Atlantic echo soundings revealed the ridge's continuous rifted crest.

• Mid-Atlantic RidgeRelated: Her maps made the ridge's full global extent visible for the first time.

• OceanographyRelated: Her seafloor maps transformed understanding of ocean-basin structure.

• Tectonic plateRelated: Her maps revealed the global ridge system central to the emerging plate model.

• Harry HessRelated: Her maps made the ridge structures central to Hess’s account visible in unprecedented detail.

• Arthur HolmesRelated: Her mapping helped provide evidence for processes consistent with mantle-driven plate motion.

• History of geologyRelated: Her maps revealed a global mid-ocean ridge system that supported seafloor spreading.

• Earth scienceRelated: Her seafloor maps provided evidence central to the acceptance of plate tectonics.

• Marine geologyRelated: Her maps made the global structure of the seafloor legible to scientists.

• John Tuzo WilsonRelated: Tharp’s maps made the ocean-floor structures central to the emerging tectonic framework visible.

• Seafloor spreading hypothesisRelated: Her maps made the ridge system visible, giving spreading a physical stage to occur on.

• Maurice EwingRelated: Tharp and Ewing's Lamont team used seismic data to build influential maps of the seafloor.
