I learned in science that the Pacific Ocean is either increasing or decreasing in size by a couple of inches of year. Which one is it?
I didn't mean the water level but rather the plates by san francisco are moving either toward or away from the pacific making it larger or smaller |

Decreasing, as the North American continental plate moves westward and the Pacific plate subducts beneath. Meanwhile, the Atlantic ocean is getting wider as the North American plate is moving away from the Eurasian plate as ocean crust is being formed along the mid-continent rift.
