Oceanic crust is destroyed at a convergent boundary where subduction occurs. An example includes the boundary between the Nazca and South American plate on the west coast South America.
The plate boundary where oceanic crust is destroyed is a subduction zone. In this process, one tectonic plate is forced beneath another into the Earth's mantle. As the descending plate moves deeper into the mantle, it is eventually melted down and destroyed.
The boundary between continental crust and oceanic crust occurs at the base of the lithosphere. This boundary is known as the Mohorovičić discontinuity, or Moho. It separates the less dense continental crust from the more dense oceanic crust below.
The two types of Crust is the Continental Crust and the Oceanic Crust.
The destructive boundary where the sea floor is destroyed is called a subduction zone. In this type of boundary, one tectonic plate is forced beneath another plate, causing the oceanic crust to be destroyed as it moves into the Earth's mantle. This process can lead to the formation of deep oceanic trenches and volcanic arcs.
The boundary between the oceanic crust and continental crust is known as the continental shelf. This is the shallowest part of the ocean that extends from the shore to the continental slope.
At convergent boundaries are boundaries the crust is destroyed by subduction of oceanic crust underneath continental crust or other oceanic crust.

Crust is destroyed at the convergent plate boundary. This is usually between the oceanic and continental plates. This is where subduction of the more dense crust occurs.

Old crust can be destroyed bysubduction, or the pushing down of an oceanic plate below anoverriding plate at a convergent boundary. The initial phase of adivergent boundary is a rift valley, which progresses to form anoceanic basin with a mid-oceanic ridge.
Convergent boundary.
No. New oceanic crust is formed at a divergent boundary. A convergent boundary neither creates nor destroys crust.
oceanic crust
New oceanic crust is created at the mid-oceanic ridges, a divergent plate boundary.
