Is a new oceanic crust formed at a transform fault boundary?

No. New oceanic crust is formed at a divergent boundary. A convergent boundary neither creates nor destroys crust.


Is a new ocean crust formed at a divergent boundary?

because the molten rock cools in the water and forms a oceanic crust


Where is oceanic crust created?

New oceanic crust is created at the mid-oceanic ridges, a divergent plate boundary.


Where new crust is formed?

New crust is formed at a divergent boundary


What boundary is it called when new crust is being formed?

Divergent Boundary, (Constructive Boundary).


What boundary is formed when magma rises to the surface and new crust is formed?

A divergent boundary is formed when magma rises to the surface and new crust is formed. This process occurs at mid-ocean ridges where tectonic plates move away from each other, allowing magma to fill the gap and solidify into new oceanic crust.


What type of landscape feature would you find at an oceanic and oceanic plate divergent boundary?

You would find a mid-ocean ridge at an oceanic-oceanic plate divergent boundary. This ridge is formed by the spreading apart of the two plates, allowing magma to rise and create new oceanic crust.


How does new oceanic crust from at a divergent plate boundary?

Sea-Floor Spreading is your answer.


When moving away from a divergent boundary in either direction what happens?

As you move away from a divergent boundary in either direction, new crust is formed through the process of seafloor spreading. This creates new oceanic crust as magma rises to fill the gap created by the separating tectonic plates. Over time, the distance between the plates increases and new oceanic crust is formed.


At a divergent boundary what feature forms when two oceanic plates are involved?

A mid-ocean ridge forms at a divergent boundary when two oceanic plates move apart. This boundary is characterized by the upwelling of magma from the mantle, which solidifies to create new oceanic crust. This process results in the formation of a continuous underwater mountain range.


What feature is formed in divergent boundary?

A mid-ocean ridge is formed in a divergent boundary where two tectonic plates move away from each other. Magma rises to fill the gap created by the plates moving apart, creating new oceanic crust. This process results in a continuous mountain range on the ocean floor.


When two plates move away from one another we have a?

It creates a divergent boundary.
