What landform will be formed at this type of convergent plate boundary?
Continental /Oceanic Crust is being formed.
Is crust formed or destroyed at each type of plate boundary?
Divergent: Created Collision\Subduction: Destroyed
What type of plate boundary destroys crust?
Convergent boundary
Places where new seafloor is being created?
New oceanic crust is being created at the mid-ocean ridges.
What plate boundary melts crust?
Subduction.
What type of boundary is new ocean crust crust formed?
This would be called a Spreading center, or a divergent plate boundary.
Which feature is commonly formed at a plate boundary where oceanic crust converges with continental crust?
2.) an ocean trench
What kind of boundary is located at the mid ocean ridge?
The mid-ocean ridge is formed along a divergent or constructive plate boundary between two plates of oceanic crust.
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 new crust formed at a conservative plate boundary?
lava
What does the presence of a mid-ocean ridge indicate?
It indicates the presence of a divergent tectonic plate boundary where new crust is being formed.
What is an ocean to ocean plate boundary?
A tectonic boundary where two oceanic lithospheric plates are either moving away from one another and new crust is formed, or moving toward each other, in which the more dense oceanic plate will subduct beneath the less dense plate.
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.
What type of boundary occurs most at mid ocean ridge?
The mid-ocean ridge is formed along a divergent or constructive plate boundary between two plates of oceanic crust. A classic example is the Mid-Atlantic Ridge where the Eurasian and African Plates are moving away from the North and South American Plates.
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 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.
