Compare explanatory power:

Expanding Earth - Offers only generalizations
Hollow Earth - Offers only generalizations
Hydroplate - Offers only generalizations

Catastrophic Plate Tectonics - Offers only generalizations.  Requires contrived initial conditions.  Ignores trench rollback.

Plate Tectonics - Globally random; each location has its own peculiar story.  Driving forces are speculative and inadequate.

Shock Dynamics - Virtually all features developed from the same event; features such as the Andes, Europe, the Philippines, the East African Rift Zone, the Mariana Trench, the Lord Howe Rise, the Appalachians, the New Hebrides, the Himalayas, the Bering Sea, etc. etc.  Simple experiments show how turbulence in the shocked crust formed ocean floor features (click on blue above).
