Which boundary destorys the crust?
Subduction boundaries, where one tectonic plate is forced below another, can destroy crust as the subducting plate melts and is absorbed into the mantle. This process can lead to the recycling of crustal material back into the Earth's interior.
When is earths Crust destroyed?
The Earth's crust is destroyed when subduction occurs.
Old ocean floor is destroyed and absorbed by the Earth and remelted beneath what?
Old ocean floor is destroyed and absorbed by the Earth at subduction zones, where tectonic plates collide and one plate is forced beneath the other. The remelting occurs beneath volcanic arcs, where the subducted crust melts and rises to the surface as magma, leading to the formation of new crust.
Is the crust formed or destroyed at a sliding boundary?
At convergent boundaries are boundaries the crust is destroyed by subduction of oceanic crust underneath continental crust or other oceanic crust.
Is the crust formed or destroyed at the sliding boundary?
At convergent boundaries are boundaries the crust is destroyed by subduction of oceanic crust underneath continental crust or other oceanic crust.
What kind of crust usually goes into the mantle?
Oceanic crust gets subducted into the mantle.
Convegent boundarie what changes to the crust occur?
The crust is compressed into mountains (if it is continental crust) or subducted back into the mantle if it is oceanic crust.
When new crust is made what happens to the old crust?
When new crust is made, like at a spreading center, old crust must be destroyed, like at a subduction zone, where it is brought back into the inner earth and melted and recycled through.
When Crust is destroyed.?
The Earth's crust is destroyed when subduction occurs.

When is earths Crust destroyed?
The Earth's crust is destroyed when subduction occurs.
Why havent older ocean rocks been discovered?
Oceanic crust is eventually destroyed in subduction zones. Although oceanic crust has been forming on Earth for over 4 billion years, all of the sea floor older than about 200 million years has been recycled by plate tectonics. Continental crust is not subducted and destroyed, so very old continental rocks have survived.
What happens to two oceanic crust when they collide?
the older crust is subducted and later pushed up to form oceanic arcs
Old ocean floor is destroyed and absorbed by the Earth and remelted beneath what?
Old ocean floor is destroyed and absorbed by the Earth at subduction zones, where tectonic plates collide and one plate is forced beneath the other. The remelting occurs beneath volcanic arcs, where the subducted crust melts and rises to the surface as magma, leading to the formation of new crust.
What do one oceanic and one continental crust produce when the oceanic crust is subducted under the continental one?
A trench and a strata volcano.
Is the crust formed or destroyed at a sliding boundary?
At convergent boundaries are boundaries the crust is destroyed by subduction of oceanic crust underneath continental crust or other oceanic crust.
Is the crust formed or destroyed at the sliding boundary?
At convergent boundaries are boundaries the crust is destroyed by subduction of oceanic crust underneath continental crust or other oceanic crust.
