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

Not in any substantial way. If you were to scale down the earth to the size of a brand new pool (aka snooker) ball, the earth would actually be smoother than the ball. The difference between the highest point and lowest point on earth, relative to it’s size, is actually less than the differences between the high point and low points on what we would consider a smooth object.

No. Plates move, some plates go up, some plates go underneath others, some stretch and some squish. Overall it evens out.
