Shock and awe. However expansion tectonics is the exact opposite of plate tectonics.
Plate tectonics does not exist on Ganymede.

Samuel Warren Carey came up with the answer to that question.
"Subduction exists only in the minds of its creators." -- Samuel W. Carey, geologist, 1976

Why do you pitch the article you linked as peer-reviewed and why do you think it supports the notion of an expanding Ganymede?

You ignore all the peer reviewed science which is why you deliberately chose to limit your discussion to the only article that wasn't peer reviewed but which nevertheless was published in Science Magazine.
