Deep mantle plumes and an increasing Earth radius
Recent space geodetic and gravimetric studies have given indications that the Earth's radius is increasing at 0.1–0.4 mm yr−1 at present. Seismic studies have also shown that earthquakes alone could be causing the radius to increase at 0.011–0.06 mm yr−1. Deep mantle plumes provide a geophysica...
