What type of plate boundary destroys crust?
Convergent boundary
At what type of plate boundary is new ocean crust formed?
Older material
This type of boundary forms when the crust of one plate is being pushed down and turned into molten rock?
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.
What type of crust is found on the nazca plate?
It forms a convergent boundary with the South American Plate, divergent.
What is the plate boundary where oceanic crust is destroyed?
its destroyed on avi face
What is an area where magma melts through the crust in the middle of a plate?
A hot spot is a place where material from the magma melts through the crust in a non plate boundary location.
What do you call a plate boundary in which no new crust is made or destroyed?
recessive plate boundary
What type of plate boundary destroys crust?
Convergent boundary
What boundary does new crust form at?
Divergent plate boundary.
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.
Which plate boundary occurs as continental crust collides with continental crust?
Convergent plate boundaries.
How are oceanic crust formed at a divergent plate boundary?
The magma flows upward from the split in the crust caused by the boundary.
What boundary creates a crust?
The Divergent Boundaries.
What type of boundary is new ocean crust crust formed?
This would be called a Spreading center, or a divergent plate boundary.
At what type of plate boundary is new ocean crust formed?
Older material
This type of boundary forms when the crust of one plate is being pushed down and turned into molten rock?
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.
What is likely to occur at a plate boundary where oceanic crust collides with crust?
tides will occur.
