You say the planet grows , so I ask , " Why is the oldest rock

allow it to surface .

Why is it so difficult for you to understand that the granite was not
there? that granite formed as the planet grew.


Hardly!

There is no spike in the geologic record indicating an infusion
of trace elements or a dilution caused by new ocean water .

Water volume has changed because the planet grew.


Not if the trace element are brought to the surface.

You lack a basic understanding of this subject .

You lack a basic understanding of growing Earth concepts.


Again , you have an insufficient understanding . Differentiation of
mafic crust and its evolution into granite requires heat and pressure
to melt that mafic crust.

This is not how it works at all. Your understanding is obscured by the
plate tectonics paradigm.


If the planet is expanding it is releasing
the required heat before it can melt .

Dude, this is not a simple volume expansion.


The fact is that crustal collisions

There are no such things as crustal collisions. it is all about wedges.


Fact is , sial is the product of differentiation and slow enrichment
by recycling of oceanic crust .


More adhoc.

Why do you think I recommended you find a Chemist ?

Make an effort to think in the framework of a different paradigm, or
you'll fail.
