What else can I help you with?
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.
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.
When is crust neither formed or destroyed?
Crust is neither formed nor destroyed when the rate of crust formation at mid-ocean ridges equals the rate of crust destruction at subduction zones. This balance is known as isostasy and helps maintain the overall thickness of the Earth's crust.
Where do subduction's occur?
Where crust is destroyed
Can the oceanic crust be destroyed?
Subduction
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.
Is crust being destroyed or created?
near ocean trenches.
Where is crust neither formed nor destroyed?
Crust is neither formed nor destroyed at transform plate boundaries. At these boundaries, tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally, resulting in earthquakes and faults but no new crust is created or destroyed.
What type of boundary is crust not destroyed?
A crust is not destroyed at a divergent boundary, where tectonic plates move away from each other. This movement creates new crust as magma rises to the surface and solidifies.
Can continental crust ever be destroyed?
No by natural means
