Is Mt Rainier currently getting larger or smaller?
Mt. Rainier's size is continually changing due to a variety of natural processes, but on a human timescale, it appears to be neither getting significantly larger nor smaller. It is still an active volcano, so future eruptions could potentially cause changes to its shape and size.
If the moon is wanning is it getting bigger or smaller?

Is the mid-Atlantic ridge getting smaller or larger?
The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is in a constant process of growing at the boundary and shrinking as it moves away from the boundary. Therefore, on a year to year basis, it is both getting larger and smaller. In geologic time, however, it will start shrinking when the continents it is moving can no longer be moved toward each other due to collisions caused by plate tectonics
Is pacific ring of fire both a major earthquake zone and a volcano zone?
Yes, it is. It is, essentially, the border of Pacific plate (and smaller bordering ocean plates, such as the Juan de Fuca off the coasts of northern California, Oregon, Washington and southern British Columbia and the Nazca off the coast of South America) and bordering continental plates (The Eurasian plate, the North American plate, the South American plate, the Australian Plate and smaller plates such as the Phillipine plate).

The Atlantic is getting bigger as the Eurasian and American plates move further away from each other. The Pacific is getting smaller which can be seen most easily in San Francisco where the large amount of earthquakes are due to the pacific plate being pushed underneath the American plate.

Why does the smaller plate heat faster than the big plate on the stove?
This is due to surface area, size/volume and compactment. The smaller plate heats faster because it has a lowwer volume and size than the big plate, which makes it posses a smaller surface area and also in a smaller compactment. This allows heat to flow through the smaller plate and covering its entire mass in a shorter time than it does in the big plate, making the smaller plate heat up faster and sooner.
Is titan bigger or smaller than earth?
Titan is significantly smaller than Earth.
Does plate tectonics make the earth smaller?

Why are the Laurentians getting smaller?
The Laurentian mountains are not physically shrinking in size. However, erosion and tectonic forces can cause them to change in appearance over long periods of time. This may give the impression that they are getting smaller.
