Note that in Plate Tectonics the spreading ridges and transform faults in the ocean floors are just cracks in the planet as it gets bigger.  That is, ..spreading ridges and transform faults inherently relate to the growth of the ocean floors and are therefore not areas where we might claim that Plate Tectonics is progressing towards recognising Earth expansion: it already recognises growth.

Nevertheless there is considerable room for improvement in Plate Tectonics' depiction of how these two planks of its foundation describe ocean floor growth.  In both areas Plate Tectonic explanations are deficient.  Indeed Plate Tectonics literally has no explanation how transform faults arise - only (and erroneously) how they are supposed to move once formed).

Since Plate Tectonics hinges on supposed commensurate destruction of the ocean floors partnering ocean floor growth, this is the area where delineating the fallacies of Plate Tectonics will be most critical.

If destruction is commensurate with growth (to keep the planet the same size) Then ocean floors would never develop.
