Summary: A (slightly) more reasonable alternative

A slightly better alternative than the previous one is the
Expanding Earth hypothesis. This explains seafloor spreading by
expansion of the Earth's interior, causing the crust to stretch.

Not that I believe it....

In any case, I did a literature review of this idea a couple
years ago. It would be easy to e-mail a copy to anyone who requests
it.
