Since the new oceanic crust is created at the mid-ocean ridges, then the Earth is getting bigger.

Chemistry

Answer:

False

Explanation:

It is true that new crust is being created at the mid-oceanic ridges, but this does not make the Earth any bigger despite the the growth of oceanic crusts in these regions.

The reason that Earth does not get bigger is because the same plates that are being created at the divergent plate boundaries are recycled into the mantle at the subduction zones. Because of this, the surface area of the Earth remains the same.

Specifically critique your personal impact on the changing climate.
Furkat [3]

Answer:

We can no longer ignore the fact that the world's climate is becoming more unpredictable and more extreme. As water levels rise, the risk of flooding looms large. At the same time, periods of drought are becoming longer and more frequent. Yet, our most precious resource – our planet's biosphere – is not only under threat. It is also the source of many of our solutions. Green Climate Solutions is the Wageningen Environmental Research programme that applies our understanding of nature and natural processes to address the challenges of climate change.
