Answer
Her discovery led to the acceptance of Theories of plate tectonics and continental drift. Wegener first proposed the idea of continental drift in 1912, but it was not until the 1960s that Theory was widely accepted. This was due in part to the work of Marie Tharp, who created the first accurate map of the ocean floor.
