Roberto Mantovani was an Italian geologist and musician best known for developing the expanding Earth hypothesis in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His theory proposed that a single original continent covered the entire planet, and that thermal expansion caused the Earth to crack apart, form...
Why this score
Early continental reconstruction and expansion hypothesis showed originality; expanding-Earth mechanism was rejected by modern geophysics.
