What boundary is oceanic lithosphere melted at?
Benioff zone
At what kind of boundary does oceanic lithosphere plunge beneath and overriding continental plate?
Convergent oceanic-continental boundary
Can a continental and oceanic plate have a transform boundary?
Yes. An example is the San Andreas Fault, a transform boundary between the Pacific (oceanic) and the North American (continental) plates.
What type of boundary neither creates nor destroys oceanic crust?
Transform boundary.
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.
Oceanic lithosphere is destroyed at-?
Oceanic lithosphere is destroyed when it is subducted at a convergent plate boundary and forced into the mantle where it melts. You shouldn't use the internet to look up answers on a test. You should use your notes and textbook! DW Thanks for the answer but um, What about people in online school, where the only "textbook" you get is an agenda? yeah the awnser for Gradpoint is Convergent Boundary
Why does oceanic lithosphere sink beneath continental lithosphere at convergent boundary's?
As odd as it is to think of things this way, continental lithosphere is more buoyant than oceanic lithosphere. The oceanic lithosphere is more dense.
What Type of Plate Boundary Is Creating MT Fuji?
Mt. Fuji is located in Japan. It is near a continental convergent boundary, a continental transform boundary, and an oceanic transform boundary.

WHAT TYPE OF BOUNDARY NEITHER NOR DESTROYS OCEANIC CRUST?
Transform boundary.
What type of boundary neither creates nor destroys oceanic crust?
Transform boundary.
What is the plate boundary where oceanic crust is destroyed?
its destroyed on avi face
What type of plate is creating mt fuji?
Mt. Fuji is located in Japan. It is near a continental convergent boundary, a continental transform boundary, and an oceanic transform boundary.
What kinds of tectonic plates are there?
There are two kinds of plates- continental lithosphere and oceanic lithosphere. There are many types of plate boundaries, like convergent, divergent, transform, and more. Continental lithosphere is granite and oceanic is basalt.
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.
