John Tuzo Wilson (24 October 1908 - 15 April 1993) was a Canadian geophysicist and geologist. He was the world's leading spokesman of the theory of continental drift. A mountain range in Antarctica was named after him. He was the father of the theory of plate tectonics (ie. the belief that the earth's crust is divided into plates which are moving as a result of the forces of the mantle beneath).
John Tuzo Wilson used a combination of geological evidence, seismological data, and geomagnetic observations to develop the theory of plate tectonics. By integrating these different lines of evidence, he proposed a model where the Earth's lithosphere is divided into several rigid plates that move and interact along their boundaries.
No, John Tuzo Wilson did not contribute to Alfred Wegener's continental drift theory. Williams was a geophysicist known for his research on plate tectonics, which built upon Wegener's ideas. He helped further develop the theory by proposing the concept of transform faults and the Wilson Cycle.
no, Alfred Wegener is the man responsible for this theory.
