Tectonic of the meditteranean basin

Some Italian geophysicists are seriously thinking about global
expansion:

"To conclude, we stress that we are simply suggesting a preliminary and
over-simplified hypothesis, which needs testing and modelling. We are
also aware that the plume model we propose implies an «expansion» in the
Mediterranean. Is the expansion compensated by shortening somewhere else
or is it an aspect of the global expansion claimed by a few isolated
researchers (Scalera and Jacob, 2003, and papers therein; Scalera,
2005)? We really do not have an answer, but we do know that the time has
come to open a discussion on possible new frontiers in the Earth's
sciences."
