Plate tectonics is actually causing the Atlantic Ocean to widen, as the plates are moving apart in a process known as seafloor spreading. This creates new oceanic crust and widens the Atlantic Ocean basin over time.
Mountains can both grow and shrink over long periods of time due to tectonic forces such as plate movement and erosion. The process of mountain growth usually occurs over millions of years when tectonic plates push against each other, forcing the Earth's surface to rise. On the other hand, mountains can shrink through erosion caused by weathering and other natural processes that wear down their surfaces.
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.

Cucumber shrink in saline solution, because the saline solution draws out the water from the cucumber causing it to shrink. -Jaralzila
Yes, the Pacific Ocean is shrinking and the Atlantic Ocean is growing.
If a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, water will move out of the cell causing it to shrink or shrivel. In a hypotonic solution, water will move into the cell causing it to swell or burst. In an isotonic solution, there will be no net movement of water and the cell will remain the same.
You can demonstrate osmosis in a non-living tissue by placing it in a hypertonic, hypotonic, and isotonic solution and observing the movement of water. In a hypertonic solution, water will move out of the tissue, causing it to shrink. In a hypotonic solution, water will move into the tissue, causing it to swell. In an isotonic solution, there will be no net movement of water.
