Let's imagine that for some unexplainable reason, our homeworld Earth suddenly grows in size and mass by 1%.
The landmasses and water-bodies retain their previous shape, they merely grow to fit the new size.
Additionally no one is harmed by the sudden shift of land and mass. Tsunamis normally caused by the displacement don't happen.
Earthquakes are prevented too.
What would the world look like? How would for example the cities look after wards? How would the various cultures and societies of humanity deal with this? What effect would the shift have on flora and fauna?
