How does new oceanic crust form at a divergent boundary?
According to Google, Magma from the mantle solidifies into basalt, a dark, dense rock that underlies the ocean floor. Thus at divergent boundaries, oceanic crust, made of basalt, is created. When two plates come together, it is known as a convergent boundary
Is crust neither created nor destroyed along a transform boundry?
No new crust is created and no old crust is destroyed. The only thing that happens from the transform boundary is that when the rub against each other that create earthquakes.
Is crust being destroyed or created?
near ocean trenches.
How is transform boundary different from a convergent boundary?
Transform fault where plates slide horizontally past one another without the production or destruction of litosphere, the Divergent produces new sea floor and Convergent two plates collide underneath in creating underground mountains.
What type of plate boundary does not create or destroy crust?
Transform Boundaries don't destroy or create new crust(:
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 are the characteristics of divergent-boundary volcanoes and convergent boundary volcanoes?
Earthquakes, Formation Of New Crust and Volcanism
Which of these does not occur at a convergent boundary?
a-plus new crust forms as plates collide
Where are the elder parts of the ocean floor located?
Oceanic crust is created at mid-ocean ridges and (through the creation of new oceanic crust) is pushed toward a convergent plate boundary where it is subducted. So the oldest oceanic crust would be located at a convergent plate boundary where the oceanic crust is being subducted under continental 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).
Why are divergent boundaries considered constructive while convergent boundaries are considered destructive?
At a constructive (divergent) plate boundary, new crust is being created to infill the gaps caused by spreading plates. At a destructive (subduction-convergent) plate boundary, old, dense oceanic crust is diving into, and becoming part of the mantle.
Where is oceanic crust created?
New oceanic crust is created at the mid-oceanic ridges, a divergent plate boundary.
What is the difference between constructive and destructive plate margins?
a constructive (divergent) plate boundary, new crust is being created to infill the gaps caused by spreading plates. At a destructive (subduction-convergent) plate boundary, old, dense oceanic crust is diving into, and becoming part of the mantle.Read more: What_is_the_difference_between_a_constructive_plate_boundary_and_a_destructive_plate_boundary
What created divergent boundary?
creates new crust and allows magma to come through.
Where new crust is formed?
New crust is formed at a divergent boundary
How can crust disappear at the edge of a boundary?
New crust is being added to the other edge of the boundary
How can crust disappear at the edge of the boundary?
New crust is being added to the other edge of the boundary
