2) The author (Greene) also suggests that the discovery that the Earth-ocean-atmosphere system is composed of concentric shells of different density, from the core of the Earth to the top of the atmosphere, is the founding insight of modern geophysics, and that the discovery also profoundly influenced the thinking of the young meteorologist Alfred Wegener (1880-1930), leading Wegener in 1912 to propose the theory of continental drift, with the continents representing the remains of a formerly continuous Earth shell above the ocean floors.
