new crust forms at divergint bounderies where plates move apart magma oozes up and cools down and creates new crust and the old crust moves away and sucks in the earth
New crust forms at plate boundaries through the process of seafloor spreading, where two tectonic plates move apart and molten rock from the mantle rises to the surface, solidifying to create new crust. This most commonly occurs at divergent boundaries, such as mid-ocean ridges, where the Earth's lithosphere is being actively pulled apart.
At divergent plate boundaries, crust is formed through the process of seafloor spreading. At convergent plate boundaries, crust is often destroyed through subduction, where one plate is forced beneath another into the mantle. At transform plate boundaries, crust is neither created nor destroyed, as the plates slide past each other horizontally.
New Earth's crust is added at divergent plate boundaries, where tectonic plates move away from each other. At these boundaries, molten rock rises from the mantle and solidifies, creating new crust. A prime example of this is the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.
The type of boundary that forms when the crust of one plate is pushed down under another plate and turned into molten rock is referred to as a convergent boundary. Convergent boundaries form when oceanic crust slides beneath continental crust.
At divergent plate boundaries, plates move away from each other. This movement creates a gap where magma rises from the mantle, solidifies, and forms new crust. This process is known as seafloor spreading. As a result, new oceanic crust is formed and the plates are constantly being pushed apart.
At diverging plate boundaries, new oceanic crust forms through seafloor spreading. Magma rises to the surface and solidifies, creating mid-ocean ridges. As the plates move apart, they create new oceanic crust, which can lead to the formation of rift valleys.
Convergent plate boundaries.
New crust forms at divergent boundaries, where tectonic plates move away from each other. This process can occur in oceanic or continental crust.
it produces earthquakes normally, depends how it shifts. sometimes it forms fold mountains

along tectonic plate boundaries.
At some convergent boundaries, an oceanic plate collides with acontinental plate. Oceanic crust tends to be denser and thinner thancontinentalcrust, so the denser oceanic crust gets bent and pulled under, or subducted, beneath the lighter and thicker continental crust. This forms what is called a subduction zone.
