How are oceanic crust formed at a divergent plate boundary?
The magma flows upward from the split in the crust caused by the boundary.
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).
Which feature is commonly formed at a plate boundary where oceanic crust converges with continental crust?
2.) an ocean trench
Was L'Aquila earthquake a conservative plate boundary?
No it was a destructive plate boundary.
Is Mt Etna on a convergent divergent or transform plate boundary?
Mount Etna Was Formed By Destructive Plate Boundaries. This Is When One Crust Is Forced Under Another Crust. It Stands At The Convergent Boundary Where The African Crust Is Being Sub Ducted Beneath The Eurasian Crust. This Causes The Latter To Deform And Forces the Magma Up Into Weak Spots In The Earths Crust (mount Etna) When There Has Become To Much Of A Magma Build Up In The Mantle.

What type of boundary is new ocean crust crust formed?
This would be called a Spreading center, or a divergent plate boundary.
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 landform will be formed at this type of convergent plate boundary?
Continental /Oceanic Crust is being formed.
At what type of plate boundary is new ocean crust formed?
Older material
Which feature is commonly formed at a plate boundary where oceanic crust converges with continental crust?
2.) an ocean trench
What are conservative plate boundaries?
These are plate boundary where there is relatively little or no creation of new crust or destruction of old crust. At the conservative plate boundary, tectonic plate move side by side horizontally sliding pass one another and berely interacting but only leading to the formation of a kind of line in-between called tranform fault or transform fault line. So it just seem as if the lithosphere in such boundary is conserved and preserved.

Is teide formed on a convergent plate boundary?
No, Teide is not formed on a convergent plate boundary. It is a volcano located on the island of Tenerife, which is part of the Canary Islands, formed by a hotspot beneath the Earth's crust, creating a volcanic hotspot.
Is crust formed or destroyed at each type of plate boundary?
Divergent: Created Collision\Subduction: Destroyed
What kind of plate boundary does subduction take place at?
A convergent plate boundary. a piece of continental crust and a piece of oceanic crust meeting at a convergent boundary.
