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.

Is the earth's crust destroyed or created along a sliding boundary?
it's neither created or destroyed
Does subduction create or destroy oceanic crust?
In a subduction zone the crust is forced inot the mantle where it is eventually melted and destroyed
Does theory continental drift state that new ocean crust is formed at ocean ridges and destroyed at deep sea trenches?
No, the theory is that Seafloor spreading state that the new ocean crust is formed at ocean ridges and is destroyed at deep sea trenches.
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.
Are all earthquakes in the earth's crust?
It happens in the mantle and crust because the focus is the starting point and it is usually starts at the lithosphere(mantle) or near the mantle, but almost there.The focus rises up and the epicenter is the start of the earthquake.
When Crust is destroyed.?
The Earth's crust is destroyed when subduction occurs.
When is earths Crust destroyed?
The Earth's crust is destroyed when subduction occurs.
When is crust neither formed or destroyed?
Where is the crust neither formed nor destroyed? -In the subduction zone the crust is neither formed nor destroyed.
Is the crust formed or destroyed at a sliding boundary?
At convergent boundaries are boundaries the crust is destroyed by subduction of oceanic crust underneath continental crust or other oceanic crust.
Is the crust formed or destroyed at the sliding boundary?
At convergent boundaries are boundaries the crust is destroyed by subduction of oceanic crust underneath continental crust or other oceanic crust.
Where is old seafloor destroyed?
Oceanic crust isn't destroyed because it's old; it is, in fact, destroyed due to destructive plate boundaries. This is where a continental plate and an oceanic plate move towards each other. As the oceanic crust is denser, it is pushed under the continental plate. Here it is forced into the mantle of the earth, where it is destroyed due to heat and convection currents.
Does subduction occur where crust is form where crust is destroyed near transform boundaries or at normal faults?
because the hulk and iron man are gettin bis-ay, if you know what i mean, and this makes earthquakes
Is crust being destroyed or created?
near ocean trenches.
Where do subduction's occur?
Where crust is destroyed
Can the oceanic crust be destroyed?
Subduction
What is the plate boundary where oceanic crust is destroyed?
its destroyed on avi face
How is the Earth's crust created and destroyed?
It is created at mid-oceanic ridges (divergent boundaries) and it is destroyed at subduction zones (convergent boundary between oceanic crust and continental crust).
