How are hesss and wegneners theory relate?

Hess's and Wegener's theories are interconnected in their exploration of continental movement and plate tectonics. Alfred Wegener proposed the theory of continental drift, suggesting that continents were once joined and have since moved apart. Harry Hess later contributed to this understanding with his theory of seafloor spreading, which explained how new oceanic crust forms at mid-ocean ridges and pushes continents apart. Together, their ideas laid the foundation for the modern understanding of plate tectonics.
