I recently read that the crust of the earth was on average 30 miles deep. In 
areas where the earth is alive ie (rain forest)things are constantly changing. 
Trees grow and leaves die and dirt is created from the leaves which allows more 
trees etc. Over time would the earth get bigger if there was nothing (Humans)to 
use the resources in those areas.
