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.
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 the type of crust formed on the ocean floor?
Oceanic crust, formed mostly of mafic rocks, or sima, is found on the ocean floor.
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).
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.
Where new crust is formed?
New crust is formed at a divergent boundary
When is crust neither formed or destroyed?
Where is the crust neither formed nor destroyed? -In the subduction zone the crust is neither formed nor destroyed.
Is tuff formed in the oceanic crust?
No. Tuff is not formed in the crust but on the surface. Tuff is a kind of rock formed from volvanic ash.
What is formed through the uplift under the earths crust?
crust
When a continental crust collides with a continental crust what is formed?
Fold mountains.

What is a line on a map that denotes crust that formed at the same time?
An Isochron is a line on a map that denotes crust that formed at the same time.
Ocean crust is formed were in the ocean?
Ocean crust is formed at seafloor spreading centers. One example of this is the Mid-Atlantic ridge.
What are forms of igneous rock?
Intrusive- Formed under the crust. Barley any Crystals. Extrusive- Formed out of the crust. More Crystals.
What is the type of crust formed on the ocean floor?
Oceanic crust, formed mostly of mafic rocks, or sima, is found on the ocean floor.
Ocean crust is formed where in the ocean?
New ocean crust is formed at mid-ocean ridges where tectonic plates are diverging (spreading apart).
