Projective subvarieties of a quasiprojective variety


Why are torsion points dense in an abelian variety?Why can't subvarieties separate?Products of Ideal Sheaves and Union of irreducible SubvarietiesAccumulation of algebraic subvarieties: Near one subvariety there are many others (?), 2How should the degree of a variety be defined in a weighted projective space?Valuations given by flags on a variety and valuations of maximal rational rankLocus of complete curves on $mathcal M_g$What is the expected dimension of the Zariski closure of the rational points on the moduli space of curves?Motivic fundamental group of the moduli space of curves?How to calculate tautological classes of some varieties?

Let $X$ be a quasiprojective variety over $mathbf C$. Take the union of all projective subvarieties $W subseteq X$ that have dimension at least $1$. Is the result Zariski closed?



(I was wondering this in the particular setting $X = mathcal M_g$, where the projective subvarieties have been the subject of some study. But the general question seems natural as well.)

          No. For example take $X = mathbb{A}^1 times mathbb{P}^1$ minus one point, say $(x,y)$. Then $W = (mathbb{A}^1 setminus x) times mathbb{P}^1$ is not closed.
