New crust is being added to the other edge of the boundary
What else can I help you with?
How can crust disappear at the edge of a boundary?
Crust can disappear at the edge of a boundary through subduction, where one tectonic plate is pushed beneath another. This process causes the crust to be pulled into the mantle and reabsorbed, leading to the disappearance of crust at the boundary.
The best approximation of the true outer boundary of the continents is the seaward edge of?
the continental shelf, which is an underwater landmass extending from the shoreline to the continental slope. This boundary represents the transition from continental crust to oceanic crust and generally marks the end of the continent.
Is a new oceanic crust formed at a transform fault boundary?
No. New oceanic crust is formed at a divergent boundary. A convergent boundary neither creates nor destroys crust.
What type of boundary oceanic crust?
Convergent boundary.
What boundary does new crust form at?
Divergent plate boundary.
What type of boundary destroys oceanic crust?
Convergent boundary.
The boundary between continental crust and oceanic crust occurs at the base of the?
The boundary between continental crust and oceanic crust occurs at the base of the lithosphere. This boundary is known as the Mohorovičić discontinuity, or Moho. It separates the less dense continental crust from the more dense oceanic crust below.
What boundary is it called when new crust is being formed?
Divergent Boundary, (Constructive Boundary).
What type of boundary is new ocean crust crust formed?
This would be called a Spreading center, or a divergent plate boundary.
What type of boundary dose not create or destroy crust?
transform boundary
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.
Where new crust is formed?
New crust is formed at a divergent boundary
