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 $X = mathbbA^1 times mathbbP^1$ minus one point, say $(x,y)$. Then $W = (mathbbA^1 setminus x) times mathbbP^1$ is not closed.
