That's assuming the increase in volume of the planet is uniform, and happens uniformly in an instant, or over a period of time.

What if the growth is localised and fast? Making an egg shape for simplicities sake, which then over time, as centrifugal forces act on it, settles in to a more spheroid shape.

The growth may not be uniform at all, so if it happened at the deepest point of the Earth, the total water depth would reduce wouldnt it?

Dont you just love thinking about this stuff!!??

The earth is actually quite oddly shaped: [link to prenerk.wordpress.com]

There's no way it has those big lumps on it, or it would be obvious from an airplane at 40,000 feet.

As for local gravitational anomalies, those would show up by things weighing different amounts in different places. Although a balance type scale wouldn't pick up the difference, because the thing used to balance the other side would change similarly in weight. You could a spring-type scale, where weight (that is force) is measured by the compression of a spring. Therefore a spring-type weighing scale that matches a balance-type scale in one place would not match somewhere else where gravity is different.

Since I haven't heard of that happening, I guess I have not seen evidence to support the gravitational anomaly theory either. But it's not obviously false, like the lumpy shapes shown in the photos are obviously false because one can see the evidence on commercial airplane flights.
