Marie Tharp and Bruce Heezen were pioneering oceanographers who significantly advanced the understanding of the ocean floor. Together, they created the first comprehensive map of the Atlantic Ocean, which revealed the existence of mid-ocean ridges and helped to support the theory of plate tectonics. Tharp's meticulous work in mapping and Heezen's data collection were crucial in transforming oceanography into a more scientific discipline. Their collaboration is often credited with changing the way we view the Earth's geological processes.

Kenneth Tharp's birth name is Kenneth Olumuyiwa Tharp.
I found this on Wikipedia: "Tharp was born inPortland, Indiana and was named for Twila Thornburg, the "Pig Princess" of the 89th Annual Muncie Fair inIndiana. Tharp's family (including younger sister Twanette, twin brothers Stanley and Stanford, mother Lecile and father William) moved to Rialto, California in1951,twyla-tharpwhere her parents opened a drive-in movie theater on the corner of Acacia and Foothill, the major east-west artery in Rialto and the path of Route 66.twyla-tharpDuring this period she worked at the drive-in, studied at the Vera Lynn School of Dance and attended Pacific High School in San Bernardino. Tharp admitted that in her early years she had no time for social life because of the need to work in her spare time since the age of 8 years old. "(:twyla-tharp

Bruce C. Heezen was born on 1924-04-11.
The researchers who used sonar to provide the first detailed evidence of sea floor spreading were Bruce Heezen and Marie Tharp in the early 1950s. Tharp's mapping of the Atlantic Ocean floor using sonar revealed the presence of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and provided crucial support for the theory of plate tectonics.

Marie Tharp
Romy Heezen's birth name is Romana Maria Heezen.
Marie Tharp was a pioneering oceanographic cartographer who created the first scientific map of the entire ocean floor. Her work helped to confirm the theory of continental drift and plate tectonics, revolutionizing our understanding of the Earth's geology and shaping the field of marine geology. Tharp's contributions have had a lasting impact on our knowledge of the planet's structure and geological processes.
Marie Tharp's contribution to plate tectonics was the creation of the first scientific map of the ocean floor that revealed the existence of a mid-ocean ridge and deep-sea trenches. Her mapping work provided critical evidence in support of the theory of continental drift and plate tectonics.
Marie Tharp's new discovery of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge was initially met with skepticism by the scientific community, as her findings challenged existing theories of plate tectonics. However, as more evidence emerged supporting her mapping of the ocean floor, her work was eventually accepted and revolutionized the field of geology. Tharp's discovery provided crucial evidence for the theory of continental drift and plate tectonics.
