new crust is always being formed by magma erupting from volcanoes and then cooling into rock making new crust.

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).
What boundary is it called when new crust is being formed?
Divergent Boundary, (Constructive Boundary).
According To Plate-tectonic Theory Where Is New Oceanic Crust Being Formed?
Spreading ridges
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 is the result of dense pieces of oceanic crust being pulled down to the mantle?
New crust is formed on the opposite end of the plate as it is pulled away from its neighbor.
Where new crust is being formed?
New oceanic crust is continually being created at the Mid-Ocean ridges.
Where is new ocean crust formed?
New oceanic crust is continually being created at the Mid-Ocean ridges.

Where new crust is formed?
New crust is formed at a divergent boundary
What is happening at the mid atlantic ridge?
New crust is being formed.
Why is rock formed at th ridges called new rock?
Since the rock just came up and cooled, it's "new oceanic rock." Because... it's new rock. It's the youngest rock. It just came out of the ground and cooled, making it rock. Or Because new crust is being formed while the old crust is being pushed away.
How do scientists explain why if new crust is constantly being formed formed from volcanic materials Earth's crust stays the same size?
they measure with a devise
How does the age of oceanic crust compare to the age of continental crust?
Oceanic crust is generally much younger. New ocean crust is constantly being formed.
What boundary is it called when new crust is being formed?
Divergent Boundary, (Constructive Boundary).
According To Plate-tectonic Theory Where Is New Oceanic Crust Being Formed?
Spreading ridges
Where would the youngest crust on the Earth be found?
At oceanic spreading centres where new oceanic crust is being formed. Also at areas of recent volcanism.
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.
