The Earth's crust is destroyed when subduction occurs.
The Earth's crust is destroyed when subduction occurs.
At convergent boundaries are boundaries the crust is destroyed by subduction of oceanic crust underneath continental crust or other oceanic crust.
At convergent boundaries are boundaries the crust is destroyed by subduction of oceanic crust underneath continental crust or other oceanic crust.
Crust is neither formed nor destroyed when the rate of crust formation at mid-ocean ridges equals the rate of crust destruction at subduction zones. This balance is known as isostasy and helps maintain the overall thickness of the Earth's crust.
Crust is destroyed at the convergent plate boundaries in Earth. In between the oceanic and continental plates, the subduction of the denser oceanic crust takes place.
Where crust is destroyed
Subduction
Crust is neither formed nor destroyed at transform plate boundaries. At these boundaries, tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally, resulting in earthquakes and faults but no new crust is created or destroyed.
A crust is not destroyed at a divergent boundary, where tectonic plates move away from each other. This movement creates new crust as magma rises to the surface and solidifies.
No by natural means
it's neither created or destroyed
At divergent plate boundaries, crust is formed through the process of seafloor spreading. At convergent plate boundaries, crust is often destroyed through subduction, where one plate is forced beneath another into the mantle. At transform plate boundaries, crust is neither created nor destroyed, as the plates slide past each other horizontally.
