D)the rifting of continents like Pangaea and Gondwanaland

J. Tuzo Wilson proposed the existence of fracture zones in the ocean crust, rigid lithospheric plates, and intraplate hot spots, which became key components of plate tectonic theory. He also suggested that the movement of plates across the Earth's surface could explain the formation of mountains, earthquakes, and volcanic activity. However, he did not specifically discover mid-ocean ridges or correlate magnetic stripes to seafloor spreading (A), identify that the largest earthquake zones were over dipping oceanic plates (C), or study the rifting of continents like Pangaea and Gondwanaland (D).
