There is new rocks that build up they first start as lava and they build up and make new crust

Does new crust form at diverging tectonic plate?
Yes, of course.
Why does new crust form but the earth doesn't get larger?
As new oceanic crust is being made in one area older crust is being subducted, (pushed or pulled down), in another area, so Earth stays about the same size.
Where did the crust from the earth come from?
The Earth some times oceanic crust is formed by the process of mid oceanic ridges. this process occurs when magma comes from the mantle and cool below oceanic body & form new crust.
New crust forms what kind of new boundaries?
Divergent boundaries create new crust.
Why does continental crust tend to form mountains when it colllides with other continental crust?
this type of collision is called a constructive margin, where two plates and instead of 1 sliding below the other (subduction), they meet and push up to form mountain rnges e.g the Himalayas. new crust is created by lava and dykess forming on the edge :)
How do sea floor mountains form?
New crust
What boundary does new crust form at?
Divergent plate boundary.
When does new crust form at plate boundaries?
When the plates are moving apart.
Does new crust form at diverging tectonic plate?
Yes, of course.
How do abyss form?
It forms when seafloor spreading creates new crust, the new crust pushes the older crust away creating a plain like area in the water. This plain area is called a abyssal plain.
Why does new crust form but the earth doesn't get larger?

What is the process that creates new ocean crust to form molten rock?
Sea Floor Spreading
Where did the crust on the Earth come from?
The Earth some times oceanic crust is formed by the process of mid oceanic ridges. this process occurs when magma comes from the mantle and cool below oceanic body & form new crust.
Where did the crust from the earth come from?

Is the crust new or old in the mid Atlantic ridge?
The crust is new.
Where new crust is formed?
New crust is formed at a divergent boundary
Where do ophiolites form?
They form in the ocean crust.
