Does seafloor spreading cause the earth's crust to expand?
New oceanic crust is being created at seafloor spreading zones, and crust is alternately being subducted and destroyed at subduction zones.
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).
Is new crust created at a convergent boundary?
No. New crust is created along a divergent boundary. Crust is destroyed at a convergent boundary.
What is the four factors that effect plate movement?
The four factors that effect plate movement are when new crust is created, crust being destroyed, the crust sliding horizontally or when plates merge together.
Is rifting the opposite of subduction?
In a way. In rifting, crust is created. In subduction, crust is destroyed.

Is crust created or destroyed at the oceanic ridge?
created
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).
Is the earth's crust destroyed or created along a sliding boundary?
it's neither created or destroyed
Is new crust created at a convergent boundary?
No. New crust is created along a divergent boundary. Crust is destroyed at a convergent boundary.

The four factors that effect plate movement are when new crust is created, crust being destroyed, the crust sliding horizontally or when plates merge together.
Is rifting the opposite of subduction?
In a way. In rifting, crust is created. In subduction, crust is destroyed.
Is the size of the earth increasing due to oceanic crust being produced?
No. In addition to oceanic crust being created at mid-ocean ridges, crust is destroyed at certain convergent plate boundaries where one plate subducts under another.
Is crust neither created nor destroyed along a transform boundry?
No new crust is created and no old crust is destroyed. The only thing that happens from the transform boundary is that when the rub against each other that create earthquakes.
Is crust formed or destroyed at each type of plate boundary?
Divergent: Created Collision\Subduction: Destroyed
What type of boundary is crust neither created nor destroyed?
onvergent
Is Crust is neither created nor destroyed along a transform boundary?
No crust is created when a transform boundary pulls away from each other.
