Synopsis

Dr Dan McKenzie, FRS, was one of the research scientists whose work resulted in the revolutionary theory of plate tectonics in 1970. He describes his work and ideas and explains how these contributed to the re-assessment of the continental drift theory in support of which there is now overwhelming evidence. Photographs, live-action photography and animation help illustrate various points.
