Exactly. A bulge being a shift globally from the central mass, caused by spinning. This is one of the reasons why another area of theory is a combination of both schools of thought.
I dont know if plate tectonics fully denies accreation more than doesnt acknowledge it to be of significant effect.
Is the Earth is a constant state of homeostasis? Did fossil fuels exsist before oil? As things die is the decayed matter completely absorded thus never having any accumulation? Or cosmic material.
Perhaps I worded my first post poorly. Im not an expert in any of this so if I come across as argumentive, its just more of a devils advocate approach. The topic inspired me to learn more about, of which I did. I dont go about this or other topics that werent my major field of study specifically only trying to find information that supports a particular opinion I might carry. Actually the reason I even strating looking into this from the film is probably simplistic compared to the expertise being shown here. I just found it interesting (other than Hawaii- I didnt catch that) how with this theory the land visually fits together, better than Pangea. IMO
