Current Earth Diameter- 7917.6 miles Radius-3958.8 miles
Current Moon Diameter- 2158.8 miles Radius- 1079.4 miles
Before Earth expansion 250 million years ago- 1700k radius or 1056 miles (according to J.Maxlow) Continents only, no water or oceans.
End-Permian, biggest mass extinction 250 million years ago
Mass extinction every 26 million years (coinciding with flood-basalt eruptions)
Basalt on Earth most common volcanic rock type, Crustal portions of oceanic tectonic plates are composed predominately of basalt from below. Much less common on continents.

https://www.nasa.gov/press-release/goddard/2019/moonquakes The Moon is shrinking
The Earth is expanding, and slowing down as it does so. The Moon is shrinking. My theory is that the Moon and Earth exchange mass (in basalt and water mostly) on a regular basis, with one expanding and the other shrinking. The minimum radius is 1056 miles, the maximum radius is 3960 miles for both planets. When the Earth reaches maximum radius, the Moon reaches minimum radius and vice versa, on a 250 million year timeline.
I am working on an exact timeline, here is what I have so far:
259,200,000 year timeline
25,920,000 (26 million year mass extinction events)
25,920 Great Year (Precession of the Equinoxes)
259,200,000/25,920,000 = 10 (that means 10 mass exchange events, resulting in 10 extinction events per cycle)
25,920,000/25,920=1000 (that means 1000 Great Years per mass exchange cycle)
