It is to be hoped that the "Vine-Matthews hypothesis" will come to be generally known by the names Vine, Matthews, and Morley. Morley's route to VMM diverged sharply from Vine's. He had no data on marine magnetic anomalies to analyze, and he was much more concerned with the zebra pattern of anomalies off the western coastline
THE VINE-MATTHEWS-MORLEY HYPOTHESIS Inspiration from anomalies VMM is a corollary of Hess's hypothesis and the idea that the Earth's magnetic field undergoes polarity reversals. Vine and Matthews thus acknowledged the derivative nature of the hypothesis:7 The theory is consistent with, in fact is virtually a corollary of, current
This confirmed the theory that Earth's magnetic field had flip-flopped through the planet's life, and it made Matthews and Vine's 1963 finding quite clear. They realized that the pattern of reversals matched perfectly the magnetic profile they had compiled of the sea floor.
The anomaly pattern that Vine and Matthews assumed consists of a progressive increase in the wave-length and decrease in the ampli tude, away from the crest, due to the increase in water depth and prob ably in Curie-point isotherm depth.
