海洋底拡大説
Wikipedia definition
1. Seafloor spreadingSeafloor spreading is a process that occurs at mid-ocean ridges, where new oceanic crust is formed through volcanic activity and then gradually moves away from the ridge. Seafloor spreading helps explain continental drift in the theory of plate tectonics. Earlier theories of continental drift were that continents "plowed" through the sea.
