New oceanic crust is continually being created at the Mid-Ocean ridges.
New crust is being formed.
Since the rock just came up and cooled, it's "new oceanic rock." Because... it's new rock. It's the youngest rock. It just came out of the ground and cooled, making it rock. Or Because new crust is being formed while the old crust is being pushed away.

Oceanic crust is generally much younger. New ocean crust is constantly being formed.
new crust is always being formed by magma erupting from volcanoes and then cooling into rock making new crust. -Jacob Halon
No. As crust subducts under another plate, it is destroyed (Convergent Boundary). When plates pull apart, new crust is formed (Divergent Boundary).
New crust is formed at a divergent boundary

Divergent Boundary, (Constructive Boundary).
Spreading ridges
At oceanic spreading centres where new oceanic crust is being formed. Also at areas of recent volcanism.
No. New oceanic crust is formed at a divergent boundary. A convergent boundary neither creates nor destroys crust.
