Ocean crust is formed where in the ocean?

New ocean crust is formed at mid-ocean ridges where tectonic plates are diverging (spreading apart).


Ocean ridges are formed by what boundaries?

Divergent boundaries form ocean ridges.


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.


What is formed when divergence happens on the sea floor?

Mid ocean ridges


Mid-ocean ridges are actually underwater mountain ranges.?

It is true that mid-ocean ridges are underwater mountain ranges. These ridges are where the lithosphere is moving apart and new oceanic crust is being formed.


Are Mid-ocean ridges actually underwater mountain ranges?

It is true that mid-ocean ridges are underwater mountain ranges. These ridges are where the lithosphere is moving apart and new oceanic crust is being formed.


How are mid Atlantic ridges formed?

It was formed when there was linear gap formed below at the ocean floor... So when the hot magma came out from it, it began to cool and solidify forming mid atlantic ridges


What formed ocean crust?

Ocean crust is formed through a process called seafloor spreading, where magma rises up at mid-ocean ridges, cools, and solidifies to create new crust. This process is part of plate tectonics, where oceanic plates move away from each other, allowing new crust to form at the ridges.


Does the theory of continental drift state that ocean crust is formed at ocean ridges and destroyed at deep sea trenches?

Yes


What is the difference between a ocean ridge and trench?

Trenches are formed by divergent plates, Whereas Ridges are formed by plate in collision.
