摘要：
Some geological problems are more readily solved by a rapidly expanding earth than by a constant sized earth (plate tectonics). These include some Triassic terrestrial organisms whose distributions span the Panthalassa and Tethys oceans, extreme degrees of global structural symmetry, and Jurassic-Cenozoic expansion of the Pacific basin and its perimeter.
