Whilst Neals is a good theory it doesn't really explain to me where the extra mass would come from to 'expand the Earth'?.
And besides I can't get utube through the office firewall .
I know metal expands when its heated and then contracts as it cools. maybe the Earth is going through the same process but due to its mass it just
takes a little longer? Solar radiation heating up the Earth maybe and the lack of heated sunspots recently is allowing the world to cool off a bit?
But if I'm imagining the Neals thoery is great if your blowing up a balloon or the Earth but what would happen if you painted a half inflated balloon
then let the air out? maybe the Earths going through a 'crinkling' phase and the Earthquakes are the 'crinkling' or folding aspects?

Well I woke up this morning to news of another huge earthquake (7.9) in Indonesia following yesterdays massive earthquake (8.0) in Samoa.
7.9 Indonesia Quake Wednesday
8.0 Samoa Quake Tuesday
Earthquakes occur everyday but this is big. This is huge.
I would like you to consider Neal Adams growing earth theory as a cause for this sudden release of immense power in these 2 locations and as a cause for everyday standard earthquake activity.
Neal Adams Theory
For instance, blow up a balloon half way then paint it and let it dry. Then after the paint on the balloon is dry proceed to blow it up some more, what will happen to the paint?
It will expand to the breaking point and crack the paint. I believe earthquake activity to be very similar to this analogy.
What do you think is going on with these 2 huge earthquakes occurring in 2 separate places with only 24 hours between them? Is there more to come? Is the Pacific Rim about to go through a massive transformation. Will California finally fall off?
2 massive earthquakes could in fact be coincidence but if more earthquakes of this magnitude follow over the next few days we may have a massive problem with our planet that could endanger millions.

Rather than requiring extra mass to expand, perhaps the inner Earth resembles a wet expanding sponge. The crust is formed by the inner 'sponge' continually hardening as it reaches the outer surface. Occasionally crust formation cannot match the rate of expansion, and we get days like today. If this is truly the case, the expansion and crust formation should eventually reach an equilibrium (since even a wet sponge cannot expand forever). That balance in growth would be comfortable for awhile, however the porous interior could eventually collapse in on itself (like popping bubbles in dishwater) which would then lead to a planetary 'shrinkage.' At a certain point after continual collapse, the heat produced would trigger another cycle of bubbling up and expansion.

Funny you should mention Cali...
a 3.0M just a few minutes ago...and Parkfield even!
Hmmm...time to watch Yellowstone now also?

What if there is no such thing as subduction and the earth is actually expanding. Then the earth maybe nearing it's end as breaks apart!

Two words: DUCT TAPE!
We call for the manufacture of many megatons of duct tape, and apply it across every active fault to keep them from breaking apart. Duct tape can fix anything!
The earth is, and had been, growing since it was formed. The continents are in their current configuration and placement due to the growth. If the earth was going to split open, it would have done so by now. Perhaps the current increased activity is a growth spurt, as we see happen with adolescent human children, and saplings in the forests...
We may be in for a shaky ride for awhile, but the earth will not pop as will a balloon.

I will refer to Carl Sagan's famous quote here, "We are all made of star stuff".
The entire Solar System and everything in it is star stuff. If this is true then all matter we see, every rock, every life form etc. is from the sun and stars.
The earth and the entire solar system could be continuously growing as a result of the sun's discharge of matter:
A million tons of coronal matter is expelled every second in a solar wind to be replaced by upwelling material from the Sun's depths.
Occasionally, the sun expells as much as 10 thousand million tons of matter towards the Earth (called a coronal mass ejection ) at speeds as high as several million miles per hour (1000's kilometers per second).
source
If this is where the earth came from then the growth and formation of the earth IMO is continuous.
