... ideas of continental drift before many other geologists around the world were key to this transformation. Combining oceanography with terrestrial geology was crucial to this new view that set the stage for the development of the theory of plate tectonics in the 1970s. The maps examined are turning...

...Preface This preface argues that modern scientific theories of the earth emerged on the slopes of Javanese volcanoes since the late nineteenth century. The theory of plate tectonics was forged in part by scientists coming to understand the relationship between the ocean and volcanism in Java...
