What boundary is formed when magma rises to the surface and new crust is formed?
divergent
What process makes new crust when the sea floor moves apart and magma rises up?
That is diverging oceanic plates that make a sea-floor ridge and the magma rises up.
What seafloor is the process by which new crust is created when the seafloor moves apart and magma rises up?
plate tectonics
What happens when new oceanic crust forms?
Actually nothing significant happens after that, the cycle just continues. Are you sure you wanted to know what happens when a new oceanic crust forms or how is a new oceanic crust formed? If you meant how a new oceanic crust is formed then here is the answer>>>> New oceanic crust forms when the divergent plate margins move away from each other leaving a gap, then magma rises to fill that gap, then it cools and turns solid and forms new land. :) I hope this was helpful!
What volcanoes occur where two tectonic plates move apart and magma rises up to create new crust?
Rift volcanoes
What is called when new crust forms where magma rises at mid ocean ridges?
sea floor spreading
At this type of boundary magma rises to the surface and new crust is formed?
divergent
What boundary is formed when magma rises to the surface and new crust is formed?
divergent
Is the continental drift the new crust that forms magma?
yes it is
What creates new crust as plates move away from each other?
Magma rises up from the earth's mantle and cools to create new crust.

How does magma form?
Magma can be formed from the subduction and melting of cold, dense, wet oceanic crust at some convergent plate margins. The moisture in the rock assists in the melting of the crust and the rock surrounding it. Magma is also formed at hot spots in the mantle where hot material undergoes decompression melting as it rises. Decompression melting also occurs at the mid-ocean ridges where new oceanic crust is formed from rising mantle rock.
