    I selected renown Geologist Arthur Holmes, because of his geological contributions to the scientific community. Holmes continued the works of Wagener elaborating the continental drift theory, which is now known as plate tectonics. Holmes also revolutionized the way we carbon date within the Geology Field through radioactive dating.
    Arthur Holmes' theory of thermal convection currents, which he developed roughly 80 years ago, demonstrated its utility in the 1960s, when scientists were hunting for a force that might explain plate movement.
