Could the amount of some elements in earths crust increase?

Yes. That is what causes some of the Earths core heat. Elements being formed by radioactive decay. Look at the Earths' makeup and see that the percentages of elements follows the periodic chart by decay.

Matter can't be created or destroyed but could the amounts of some elements in Earth's crust decrease?

There can be a small amount of matter exchange with outer space. On the other hand, some radioactive isotopes can decay, and convert to other isotopes. This will increase the amount of one element, and reduce the amount of another one.


A population is at the carrying capacity for its environment What would happen if the carrying capacity suddenly decreased?

If the carrying capacity suddenly decreased, you could probably expect the amount of organisms within the ecosystem to decrease as well. (There is a decreased amount of room/resources for the organisms, causing the quantity of organisms to decrease as well.) hope that helps :)

Can the ozone layer get thicker?

Could you? If we continue to decrease the amount of CFCs we are using and other things that could deplete the ozone layer then yes, it could begin to reseal in time.
