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.
Is the crust formed or destroyed at a 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 convergent bounderies mean?
Convergent boundaries are tectonic plate boundaries, where crust is destroyed as one plate dives under another.
Is subduction zone is where new crust is being formed?
No. As crust subducts under another plate, it is destroyed (Convergent Boundary). When plates pull apart, new crust is formed (Divergent Boundary).
Where is old plate material destroyed?
Crust is destroyed (or recycled!) at convergent plate boundaries. Usually between oceanic and continental plates where subduction of the more dense oceanic crust occurs.
Is new crust created at a convergent boundary?
No. New crust is created along a divergent boundary. Crust is destroyed at a convergent boundary.

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).
Is the size of the earth increasing due to oceanic crust being produced?
No. In addition to oceanic crust being created at mid-ocean ridges, crust is destroyed at certain convergent plate boundaries where one plate subducts under another.
Where older crust is destroyed because two plates press together?
convergent boundary
Where is Ocean crust being destroyed?
At subduction zones along convergent plate boundaries.
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.
At what boundary is oceanic crust destroyed?
Oceanic crust is destroyed at a convergent boundary where subduction occurs. An example includes the boundary between the Nazca and South American plate on the west coast South America.
What does convergent bounderies mean?
Convergent boundaries are tectonic plate boundaries, where crust is destroyed as one plate dives under another.
Is subduction zone is where new crust is being formed?
No. As crust subducts under another plate, it is destroyed (Convergent Boundary). When plates pull apart, new crust is formed (Divergent Boundary).
