Maurice Ewing

Maurice Ewing was a prominent American geophysicist known for his contributions to seismic research and oceanography. He played a key role in studying the Earth's crust and its tectonic processes, significantly advancing our understanding of plate tectonics and the seafloor. Ewing helped develop methods to use seismic waves to explore the Earth's interior, enhancing our knowledge of earthquakes and the underlying geology. His work laid the foundation for modern geophysics, bridging the study of land and ocean, and influencing how we understand natural phenomena like earthquakes and ocean currents.
