So at one time the Gulf of Mexico was 28,000 feet deep? And what areas
are
loosing sediments? Not all areas of land (even under the sea) can
accumulate can they? If so would the diameter of the Earth be increasing?
If some are reducing and some are increasing then would that constitute an
"evening" of all surfaces? So mountains are being reduced as the sea beds
are building up?

The water was never that deep. The land just keeps subsiding as the
sediment builds up. North America was losing the sediment.
