Is the crust formed or destroyed at the sliding boundary?
At convergent boundaries are boundaries the crust is destroyed by subduction of oceanic crust underneath continental crust or other oceanic crust.

What does an active continental margin have?
they generally have a deep trench.
Why is it important to understand how oceanic and continental crusts move?
The top layer of the Earth's surface is called the crust (it lies on top of the plates). Oceanic crust (the thin crust under the oceans) is thinner and denser than continental crust. Crust is constantly being created and destroyed; oceanic crust is more active than continental crust.
What is the age of the continental crust?
3 billion years

Crust is destroyed near?
Crust is destroyed at the convergent plate boundaries in Earth. In between the oceanic and continental plates, the subduction of the denser oceanic crust takes place.
How is the Earth's crust created and destroyed?
It is created at mid-oceanic ridges (divergent boundaries) and it is destroyed at subduction zones (convergent boundary between oceanic crust and continental crust).
What does an active continental margin have?
they generally have a deep trench.
What happens when an oceanic and an oceanic plate collide?
since the oceanic crus is thinner than the Continental crust the oceanic crust get submerged and gets destroyed while the continental crust covers the submerged part as being taken over by continental crust....//\@Rtz Z@r...

Where is old seafloor destroyed?
Oceanic crust isn't destroyed because it's old; it is, in fact, destroyed due to destructive plate boundaries. This is where a continental plate and an oceanic plate move towards each other. As the oceanic crust is denser, it is pushed under the continental plate. Here it is forced into the mantle of the earth, where it is destroyed due to heat and convection currents.
Which plate boundary destroys crust?
Crust is destroyed at the convergent plate boundary. This is usually between the oceanic and continental plates. This is where subduction of the more dense crust occurs.
Which is thicker continental crust or oceanic crust?
Continental crust A+
What is the continental crust of the earth?
what is the continental crust
What is the age of the continental crust?
3 billion years
