The scientist who proposed the theory of sea floor spreading was Harry Hess, a geologist and Navy officer, in the early 1960s. He suggested that new oceanic crust is created at mid-ocean ridges and spreads outwards, pushing the continents apart. This idea later formed a key part of the theory of plate tectonics.
