Answer 2

The term plate was first used by JT Wilson

• The term plate was first used by scholar JT Wilson in the year 1963.

• Wilson suggested that plates can go over set hotspots in the mantle, creating chains of volcanic islands. With the concept of a third kind of plate boundary, he followed this discovery in 1965 - transform faults.

• The mechanism behind the movement of plates in 1967 was invented by McKenzie and Parker based on the geometrical theorem by Euler.

• Based on the same, they gave paving stone hypothesis stating that at ridges, the oceanic crust is formed and trenches are lost. In 1967, Isacks and Sykes further verified the hypothesis.
