Active continental margins occur in the Pacific Ocean. Active margins are generally narrow tectonically active areas. They are also associated with earthquakes, oceanic trenches, and volcanoes.

En 1961, Robert Dietz [...] introduisit l’expression «sea floor spreading» (expansion des fonds océaniques). En 1963, Lawrence Morley, Fred Vine et Drumond Matthews confirmèrent les idées de Hess et de Dietz en interprétant les anomalies magnétiques découvertes sur le plancher océanique comme des marqueurs de l’expansion. Ces anomalies formaient des bandes alternativement positives et négatives, disposées parallèlement et symétriquement par rapport aux dorsales. 2, record 22, French, - anomalie%20de%20l%26rsquo%3Bexpansion%20des%20fonds%20oc%C3%A9aniques

En mer, les anomalies magnétiques marines qui sont parallèles aux dorsales ont permis de démontrer que l'expansion des fonds océaniques, c'est-à-dire que le plancher océanique se forme aux dorsales et s’en éloigne en se refroidissant. Sur les continents, les anomalies magnétiques permettent de mettre en évidence des grandes structures dans la croûte continentale. 3, record 22, French, - anomalie%20de%20l%26rsquo%3Bexpansion%20des%20fonds%20oc%C3%A9aniques
