the twinkies make their seves a mansion with it. Without their old oceanic crust they would be dead like a drug addict without drugs, a cat without a heart, a Baseball without a bat, a bus without fat kids, a fat kid without food, a granny without her gun, a twinkie without its angelic cream, in other words DEAD, USELESS. Oh how they love their old oceanic crust just like i SIMPLY ADORE MY TWINKIES without them i would be hopelessly lost in this cruel world with out my amazing twinkies which help keep me alive.

*How is new ocean crust formed?
New ocean crust is formed by divergent plate boundaries, at which two lithospheric plates move apart in opposite directions. As the plates separate, material from the mantle (magma) is forced upward. As it approaches and reaches the surface, it cools to create new seafloor.
*How is old oceanic crust destroyed?
Oceanic crust is destroyed at convergent boundaries, where oceanic and continental plates collide. The oceanic plates are forced under the continental plates, where the eventually reach the sweltering heat of the Earth's interior and melt. The material is then recycled back into the magma of the asthenosphere, and is eventually resurfaced at divergent plate boundaries.

∙ 13y agoNew crust is formed by the spreading along a divergent boundary between plates. Old crust can be destroyed by subduction, or the pushing down of an oceanic plate below an overriding plate at a convergent boundary. The initial phase of a divergent boundary is a rift valley, which progresses to form an oceanic basin with a mid-oceanic ridge.

Earth does not get bigger as new oceanic crust forms?
Just as new oceanic crust forms at mid-ocean ridges, old oceanic crust is destroyed at subduction zones.
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 are places where oceanic crust sinks back to the mantle?
No. Mid oceanic ridges are the places where new oceanic crust are forming.
What happens to the old oceanic crust as new molten material rises from the mantle?
The older oceanic crust moves away from the spreading center and is eventualy subducted back into the mantle.
Which forms at mid-ocean ridges?
New oceanic crust is created along mid ocean ridges. These are areas of the earth where there is divergence or splitting of the ocean floor and basaltic magma oozes out from within the mantle to occupy the gaps and form new crusts.

What forms at the center of the mid ocean ridge?
New oceanic crust.
What are places where oceanic crust sinks back to the mantle?
No. Mid oceanic ridges are the places where new oceanic crust are forming.
Is new oceanic crust formed at mid-ocean ridges?
Yes, the process that creates oceanic crust on a mid-ocean ridge is called "seafloor spreading". seafloor spreading creates a new oceanic crust that forms on the mid-ocean ridge.
Why doesn't our planet get larger from sea floor spreading?
As new oceanic crust forms at mid-ocean ridges, old oceanic crust is destroyed at subduction zones.
Is a new ocean crust formed at a divergent boundary?
because the molten rock cools in the water and forms a oceanic crust
What happens to old oceanic crust as new molten material from the mantle?
The older oceanic crust moves away from the spreading center and is eventualy subducted back into the mantle.
New crust forms when or where?
where two plates pull apart from each other at oceanic ridges
How can the ocean crust be different ages?
On geologic time scales, new oceanic crust is constantly being formed ad mid-ocean ridges while older crust is destroyed at subduction zones. The crust forms at the ridge and is carried away by the movement of the plate as new crust forms to take its place. The oceanic crust is youngest new a mid ocean ridge and oldest far away from it.
