Frederick John Vine FRS (born 17 June 1939) is an English marine geologist and geophysicist.
He made key contributions to the theory of plate tectonics, helping to show that the seafloor spreads from mid-ocean ridges with a symmetrical pattern of magnetic reversals in the basalt rocks on either side.
