Why earth isn't getting bigger even though the continents are spreading apart

Geography

Earth is not getting bigger because the continents are simply slowly moving in one direction. The mass stays the same all throughout the process. All of the continents are inside of our atmosphere, not connected to it, and the continents are not getting bigger, nothing is. They are simply moving slowly. 

Thanks so much for the opportunity to answer your question and I hope this helped! Remember, I am always here if you need any more information. :)

The earth isn't getting bigger even though the continents are spreading apart is because the continents are simply being shifted from one location to another, but no land or mass is being created. The mass of certain parts of the world is simply being displaced from one location on the earth to another or its shape is simply being changed by being pushed up or below the earth's surface.

Answer:

Rainforests are natural air filters. They store and filter excess carbon and other pollutants from the atmosphere and release oxygen through photosynthesis. Without rainforests, our planet is unable to mitigate excess greenhouse gas emissions, which destabilizes the Earth's climate.

Earth's tilted axis causes the seasons. Throughout the year, different parts of Earth receive the Sun's most direct rays. So, when the North Pole tilts toward the Sun, it's summer in the Northern Hemisphere. And when the South Pole tilts toward the Sun, it's winter in the Northern Hemisphere.
