Interesting.
One question I certainly have with the expanding planet theory is this:
How did the mountain ranges come in to being if the Earth was only expanding?
Quoting: Rabid_Wolf Check out the midatlantic ridge. The outer crust is segmented (plates) and cracked (faults) and jostles about as the expansion takes place. Sometimes the magma comes up through the cracks and forms mountains and ranges, both above and below sea level. Those non-volcanic, folded ranges occur when some of the segments are compressed against each other and uplifting occurs at the cracks (eg: Himalayas). The system is always in flux, with peaks of activity at cyclical intervals.
