What is the plate boundary where oceanic crust is destroyed?
its destroyed on avi face
At what boundary is oceanic crust destroyed?
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.
What landform will be formed at this type of convergent plate boundary?
Continental /Oceanic Crust is being formed.
At what type of plate boundary is new ocean crust formed?
Older material
What type of plate boundary destroys crust?
Convergent boundary
Is subduction zone is where new crust is being formed?
No. As crust subducts under another plate, it is destroyed (Convergent Boundary). When plates pull apart, new crust is formed (Divergent Boundary).
What do you call a plate boundary in which no new crust is made or destroyed?
recessive plate boundary
What is the plate boundary where oceanic crust is destroyed?
its destroyed on avi face
Which plate boundary destroys 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.
How are oceanic crust formed at a divergent plate boundary?
The magma flows upward from the split in the crust caused by the boundary.
Is new crust formed at a conservative plate boundary?
lava
What type of boundary is new ocean crust crust formed?
This would be called a Spreading center, or a divergent plate boundary.
At what boundary is oceanic crust destroyed?
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.
What landform will be formed at this type of convergent plate boundary?
Continental /Oceanic Crust is being formed.
How is crust destoyed?
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.
At what type of plate boundary is new ocean crust formed?
Older material
Which feature is commonly formed at a plate boundary where oceanic crust converges with continental crust?
2.) an ocean trench
