The theory is actually called the Vine-Matthews-Morley hypothesis, It is also known as the Morley-Vine-Matthews hypothesis.
Independent of each other, geophysicist Frederick John Vine and Canadian geologist Lawrence W. Morley introduced the first scientific test of the seafloor spreading theory of continental drift and plate tectonics. The hypothesis stated that if the seafloor spreading theory was correct, rocks surrounding mid-oceanic ridges would show symmetric patterns of magnetization reversals captured in cooling volcanic rocks.
Morley attempted to get his findings published in February and April of 1963, but was rejected. Vine and his advisor, Drummond Hoyle Matthews, published in 1963. Verification of the theory was found in later geomagnetic surveys.

Frederick J. Vine supported Alfred Wegener's theory of continental drift by providing a mechanism for it through the concept of seafloor spreading in the 1960s. Vine, along with Dr. Drummond Matthews, discovered that the patterns of magnetic striping on the ocean floor corresponded to periods of magnetic reversals, which suggested that new oceanic crust was continuously formed and pushed outward from mid-ocean ridges. This evidence lent significant support to Wegener's ideas by demonstrating how continents could drift apart over geological time. Thus, Vine's work helped validate and expand upon Wegener's foundational concepts in plate tectonics.
Henri Bacquerel first experimented with phosphorescent materials and discovered radioactivity. The Curies and Ernest Rutherford later experimented with it. -------------------------------------------------- The first hypothesis on isotopes is from Frederick Soddy (1912); the practical confirmation is attributed to J. J. Thomson (1913). Henri Becquerel discovered the phenomenon of radioactivity studying uranium salts.

The woody vine that hangs onto trees is commonly known as a vine or climbing vine. Some specific examples include ivy, wisteria, or Virginia creeper.
