Of course. Compression happens through gravitational collapse (e.g.
Iran, Alps) and as the compressional component of shear.

I have a difficult time visualizing the Alps and the Himalayas as giant
toreva blocks. They are at a higher elevation than the surrounding regions.

But you have to remember that 'elevation' means nothing in terms of
absolute height from the Earth's centre, ..it is an artifact of sea
level. The tops of those plateaus have not been 'uplifted', ..it's
merely the sea level that has fallen. Se we don'[t look for a
mechanism of tectonic uplift, ..we look for a mechanism that can cause
the sea level to drop. Globally. And massively. To preserve
stratigraphic sequence on the highest ('highest') parts of the Planet.
And the only thing that can reasonble do that (have sea level fall to
that extent) is if the Earth's surface mouves outwards from the centre.
Note I don't say "UP", because up carries tectonic connotations, and
it's not tectonics that is driving growth.

(Careful using the term 'gravitational collapse'. Could be taken to mean
something else by sci.astro and sci.physics, like black holes.)

..... Interesting, ...I wonder what is the opposite of 'gravitational
collapse'... in that sense?


What is going on under the continents in the E.E. model? That is, will Earth
Expansion revive "The Granite Controversy"?

Certainly, ..very likely..


And just for fun, what do you think about this:

Yes , ..Stephen Hurrell and Bill Erickson argue a good case for the
large Dinosaurs not being able to exist in today's gravity field, and
for gravity back then must have been less
