Crust is formed at the edge of a tectonic plate by, when a volcano erupts, the lava or magma (same thing) hits the edge of a tectonic plate and cools and dries on the edge of that tectonic plate.

∙ 12y agoNew crust will form at a plate boundary when two or more tectonic plates pull away for each other and a fissure forms. Runny lava -similar to that of a shield volcano- will pour out. If the fissure is formed at a oceanic plate the lava will cool against the water and form new crust. Additionally, over a 'hot spot' in a oceanic plate a volcano may form. When that volcano erupts the lava will come in contact with the water around it and for an island.

Which of these does not occur at a convergent boundary?
a-plus new crust forms as plates collide
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 can crust disappear at the edge of a boundary?
New crust is being added to the other edge of the boundary
What boundary is it called when new crust is being formed?
Divergent Boundary, (Constructive Boundary).
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 a new ocean crust formed at a divergent boundary?
because the molten rock cools in the water and forms a oceanic crust
Is new crust created at a convergent boundary?
No. New crust is created along a divergent boundary. Crust is destroyed at a convergent boundary.
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.
Where new crust is formed?
New crust is formed at a divergent boundary
How can crust disappear at the edge of the boundary?
New crust is being added to the other edge of the boundary
How can crust disappear at the edge of a boundary?
New crust is being added to the other edge of the boundary
What boundary does new crust form at?
Divergent plate boundary.
This type of boundary forms when the crust of one plate is being pushed down and turned into molten rock?
The type of boundary that forms when the crust of one plate is pushed down under another plate and turned into molten rock is referred to as a convergent boundary. Convergent boundaries form when oceanic crust slides beneath continental crust.
What boundary is it called when new crust is being formed?
Divergent Boundary, (Constructive Boundary).
What type of boundary is new ocean crust crust formed?
This would be called a Spreading center, or a divergent plate boundary.
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).
