What else can I help you with?
Is the crust formed or destroyed at a sliding boundary?
At convergent boundaries are boundaries the crust is destroyed by subduction of oceanic crust underneath continental crust or other oceanic crust.
Is the crust formed or destroyed at the sliding boundary?
At convergent boundaries are boundaries the crust is destroyed by subduction of oceanic crust underneath continental crust or other oceanic crust.
Where is old plate material destroyed?
Crust is destroyed (or recycled!) at convergent plate boundaries. Usually between oceanic and continental plates where subduction of the more dense oceanic crust occurs.
Is lithosphere crust destroyed in convergent boundaries?
Yes, in convergent boundaries, lithosphere crust can be destroyed. When two tectonic plates collide, typically an oceanic plate subducts beneath a continental plate or another oceanic plate, leading to the bending and melting of the subducted crust. This process can result in the formation of deep ocean trenches and volcanic arcs, effectively recycling the lithosphere into the mantle.
Do convergent destroy or create crust?
That depends! Continental-Continental convergent boundaries result in the formation of fold mountains. Crust here is neither created or destroyed. Continental-Oceanic and Oceanic-Oceanic collision bounsdaries generally lead to the formation of a subduction zone, where the denser plate (usually the older and therefore cooler oceanic plate) sinks back into the mantle and melts so is destroyed (or more accurately recycled).

Crust is destroyed near?
Crust is destroyed at the convergent plate boundaries in Earth. In between the oceanic and continental plates, the subduction of the denser oceanic crust takes place.
Where older crust is destroyed because two plates press together?
convergent boundary
Where is Ocean crust being destroyed?
At subduction zones along convergent plate boundaries.
Is new crust created at a convergent boundary?
No, new crust is not created at a convergent boundary. Instead, at convergent boundaries, two tectonic plates come together and one plate is usually forced beneath the other in a process called subduction. This process can lead to the destruction of crust rather than the creation of new crust.
At what boundary is oceanic crust destroyed?
Oceanic crust is destroyed at convergent plate boundaries, where two tectonic plates collide. Subduction occurs at these boundaries, where the denser oceanic crust is forced beneath the less dense continental crust into the mantle, resulting in its destruction.
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.
Where is old plate material destroyed?
Crust is destroyed (or recycled!) at convergent plate boundaries. Usually between oceanic and continental plates where subduction of the more dense oceanic crust occurs.
Is lithosphere crust destroyed in convergent boundaries?
Yes, in convergent boundaries, lithosphere crust can be destroyed. When two tectonic plates collide, typically an oceanic plate subducts beneath a continental plate or another oceanic plate, leading to the bending and melting of the subducted crust. This process can result in the formation of deep ocean trenches and volcanic arcs, effectively recycling the lithosphere into the mantle.
How and where material is destroyed in the earth's crust?
I believe it is destoryed along a convergent plate boundry where one plate slides underneath another.
Is crust formed or destroyed at each type of plate boundary?
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.
