This is something I have been meaning to ask myself to see what others think.
I saw the following vid on youtube that states that plate techtonics are not responsible for the continents being were they are and that the earth is
in fact "growing" from the inside out as the centre expands.
They claim that plate techtonics is some sort of scientific lie.
The plate techtonic people say that the earth is not growing.

BUT It got me thinking.
As well as the space dust,asteroids and comet debris that is being added there is the cosmic particles.
Most studies into particle physics have to be performed underground at great depth so that the particles that hit the earth are filtred out.
These patrticles must add to the earth.Not on its surface BUT at the depth that they come to rest below the surface.
The amount is huge and over the millenia of earths existence must have added greatly to its original size from the inside out.
The earth has got to have grown as a result of these particles.
