Continental plates do not usually shrink or grow in area significantly over short time scales. They can shift, break apart, or collide with each other due to tectonic forces, but their overall size remains relatively consistent. The movement of continents occurs at rates of a few centimeters per year, which is not enough to cause noticeable changes in their size.

No, tectonic plates vary in size, shape, and composition. There are different types of tectonic plates, including oceanic plates that are denser and thinner than continental plates. The motion and interactions of these plates play a crucial role in shaping the Earth's surface through processes like subduction and spreading.
Determinate growth occurs when leaves and flowers grow to a set size.

No, all plates are not the same size
Colliding plates cause mountain ranges to grow.
No, plates can come in various sizes depending on their intended use. Common sizes for dinner plates range from about 9 to 12 inches in diameter, while salad plates are typically smaller, around 7 to 9 inches. Specialty plates like dessert plates or appetizer plates can also vary in size.

No it doesn't.

Answ2. Volcanoes grow by adding more material either to the main vent, or to side vents on the mountain. There is essentially unlimited material in the Earth's magma.volcanos grow because the plates hit toghether and form a hill.so every time 2 of the plates hit the volcano grows more.when the volcano grows at the size it should be it stays like that.so if the plate coes witchit will it wont grow anymore it will just erupt.!
plates move around the speed of how fast your nails grow
I'm not exactly sure but some can grow as large or larger then average size dinner plates.
No, there are several more plates than continents (twelve I think) and the plates include both oceans and land. Earthquakes are the result of plates moving, but don't worry, plates do not move fast, only about a centimeter a year.
Fish grow with age. Some only grow to the size of the tank while others grow to a maximum size no mater the size of their environment.
