Shocking that some would still like to zap on continental drift, and not take this into account in the "timing", nor in the effects of the forces exerted by the circulation of the magma ...
Since it is a known and observable fact in our time still, that the telluric activity has ups and downs (why nobody takes it into account in the counter-arguments), and that in geological history, the more pressures increased on both sides, the more they offset each other to achieve a near-zero weighting (all phenomena combined) or considerably reduced by the balance of forces! Very intense phenomena at a time, very weak nowadays ... (The pressures exerted also increasing or dying out hand in hand ...)
See
the "Statics of fluids" and "solids":
http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statique_des_fluides
http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statique_du_solide
And this is precisely what
residual phenomenon equilibrium of forces that we called uplift which causes a thrust up (or down) but also diagonally (depending on the intrinsic resistance of the geological layers crossed), if not even towards the sides => the folds observable in plate tectonics prove and attest to it ... And it is also what further reduces the supposed amplitude of the effect obtained.
Last but not least, do not zap yet on the fact that the more the mass is important to lift, the more gravity acts as a retarder, so it would be totally unfair to consider that this phenomenon at a constant value!
Weight, related to Earth's gravity:

And this principle of balance of forces and compression of a fluid / gas is easily verifiable, since it is the same that causes volcanic activity and the stroke of a piston in an internal combustion engine. And necessarily, the
fluid dynamics applies to magma and the earth's crust. Would the aces from the Pantone engine suddenly forget it?

That too, out of total ignorance of the rules of statics (apparently encouraged by some for obscure reasons, because one would not dare imagine that they were in bad faith
no, we wouldn't dare) however we still zap on known truths ... Since all these phenomena interact with each other, compensate for each other, sometimes add up but most often cancel each other out. Up to the
"Theory of the Earth's Rotation" de Gallilée (I know, it's just a theory!)
And Flytox, we are light years away from being able to invalidate everything en bloc with a nutty rule of three as Janic claims, so you would have done better to post your "smiley" in the "humor" section ", because seen in such a reductive way, the"
Method differences applied"by having" forgotten "to integrate the essential in a
"correct interpretation of" raw "measurements"...
