How can crust disappear at the edge of a boundary?
New crust is being added to the other edge of the 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.
What type of boundary oceanic crust?
Convergent boundary.
How are oceanic crust formed at a divergent plate boundary?
The magma flows upward from the split in the crust caused by the boundary.
What type of boundary destroys oceanic crust?
Convergent boundary.
Is new crust created at a convergent boundary?
No. New crust is created along a divergent boundary. Crust is destroyed at a convergent boundary.
How can crust disappear at the edge of the boundary?
New crust is being added to the other edge of the boundary

What boundary does new crust form at?
Divergent plate boundary.
What type of plate boundary destroys crust?
Convergent boundary
What type of boundary destroys oceanic crust?
Convergent boundary.
What is the boundary between the crust and the lithosphere?
The crust is part of the lithosphere, so there is no boundary between them. There is a boundary between the crust and the other part of the lithosphere which is the uppermost mantle. It is called the Mohorovicic Discontinuity or the 'Moho' for short.
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.
