Question

With the massive rifts that have occurred from the earthquake in Turkey, is the movement of the tectonic plates increasing the diameter, even temporarily?

Answer 1

I suppose technically the density is constantly changing slightly, but nothing anywhere near noticeable.

Earth does grow slightly from space debris colliding, and shrinks slightly from gases leaving.

Overall though it’s a pretty set bubble of matter that just shifts around a bit.
