PHEW!! Solenki, You're a legend.
Well thank you

I'm finishing my master degree this year ? what about you, were are you from ? It's always a pleasure to meet fellow Geologist

How can you possibly explain subduction when all the continents fit together to form a smaller sphere? I must invoke Occam's razor on this and go
with the expanding Earth model. (FYI: I am an atheist)
It is also my personal belief that nuclear reactions are responsible for the newly generated mass originating from the core. A belief further
supported by various LENR and CANR science experiments.
In addition, a smaller Earth will result in lower gravity which can explain how dinosaurs were able to achieve their large growth.
It all fits together (pardon the pun).

1. Of course if fit together ! Just as the two part of Africa that will be separated from this rift will fit together

So the shape of continents is
certainly not a proof for neither of both theories. It only prooves that at some times, continents were forming a single super continent.
If you searched about the Wilson cycle as I mentioned, you certainly have understand that Earth is going trough a cycle of aggregation of continent,
making a super continent (like Pangea), and then they separate from one an other.
Proof of it ? Same sedimentary pile succession in South America and Africa .Same Fossile species found in places too far away for being explain by
migration, etcétéra...
A smaller sphere ? Well it also works if you don't change the sphere volume but simply add Subduction, Obduction and Collision.
Never forget that nature HATES emptiness !
For those who don't believe in subduction, you can search about Seismic reflexion.
Seismic reflexion is a geophysical tool allowing us too make an image of the earth's structures.
How does it work ? Well it is simply based on the Sneil Descartes law saying that a wave will be reflected and transmitted when going form a medium
(where the wave have a velocity V1) trough an another medium where the velocity is V2, V1 and V2 being different (to put it simply).
So, the only thing you have to do is put a microphone at the surface of the earth (or inside

), make a sound, and listen to the acoustic wave coming
to you after being reflected on a layer.
You make a sound, put your microphone on the ground, you record the reflected wave, move your tools, repeat.
You can associate the time between the moment you make a sound, and the moment it comes back as the time the acoustic waves takes to go trough a
layer. then, as velocity, distance and time are related, you can easily define what is below your feet.
I was in Taiwan a month ago or so, there, they don't really know where the subduction is occuring, (the philippines plates is subducting there), but
they know there is one (because of the rocks found on the island near the Luzon Arc), they just need to find the Moho.
So in order to do it, they will blow 4 Ton of TNT as a source of sound
Just for you to know, the Moho is usually at a deep of 30km and deeper in subduction area. And we can go much much deeper into imaging (while losing
image quality...).
2. Mass created for radioactive reaction ? Certainly not enough to explain Mountains and "Extension".
Always remember a good law : "nothing is lost nothing is created everything is transformed".
If you think about it and make correlation with life, it's appears really clearly to you how everything works.
3. Have seen this theory in a video, well I was ROTFL. Seriously, dinosaurs were this big only because of natural selection.
I'm at the characters limit. Just a last thing if expentionist are not mistaking, why only earth ?
