mass

what is the maximum weight an island can hold

what is the maximum weight our planet can withstand

when the weight on one island is more than other, can the tectonic plate slip over another or crash with another.

each and every meteorite that reaches the earth surface adds more weight

Um... okay yeah, the more stuff from space we collect, the heavier we become. The weight an island can hold? I guess it's the weight before its base collapses, the same way that there is a theoretical maximum height for mountains before they collapse due to their own weight. And I guess if we did acquire that much mass, we could experience gravitational collapse?
