What boundary is it called when new crust is being formed?
Divergent Boundary, (Constructive Boundary).
How is new crust continually being formed?
new crust is always being formed by magma erupting from volcanoes and then cooling into rock making new crust. -Jacob Halon
What is it called when two ocean plates move apart and new crust is formed?
Seafloor spreading
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.
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).
Where new crust is formed?
New crust is formed at a divergent boundary
What type of boundary is new ocean crust crust formed?
This would be called a Spreading center, or a divergent plate boundary.

Why is rock formed at th ridges called new rock?
Since the rock just came up and cooled, it's "new oceanic rock." Because... it's new rock. It's the youngest rock. It just came out of the ground and cooled, making it rock. Or Because new crust is being formed while the old crust is being pushed away.

What boundary is formed when magma rises to the surface and new crust is formed?
divergent
Where new crust is being formed?
New oceanic crust is continually being created at the Mid-Ocean ridges.
Are divergent boundaries where new crust is formed?
That is correct.
