If the earths crust separates at divergent boundaires and creates new crust why doesnt the earth grow in size?

This is because the size of the earth is relative stable or constant. Geologic activities do not actually changes earth size as a whole, but rather reshapes and resizes its landforms and continents. All that happen is just a recycling process whenever the earths crust seperates at divergence a boundary its being consumed somewhere else at a convergence boundary. And so on and on it goes, by this the earths overall size is maintained.
