New crust is being added to the other edge of the boundary
No. New oceanic crust is formed at a divergent boundary. A convergent boundary neither creates nor destroys crust.
Convergent boundary.
Convergent boundary.
Divergent Boundary, (Constructive Boundary).
Crust is formed at the edge of a tectonic plate by, when a volcano erupts, the lava or magma (same thing) hits the edge of a tectonic plate and cools and dries on the edge of that tectonic plate.
New crust is being added to the other edge of the boundary
the continental shelf, which is an underwater landmass extending from the shoreline to the continental slope. This boundary represents the transition from continental crust to oceanic crust and generally marks the end of the continent.

Convergent boundary.
Divergent plate boundary.
Convergent boundary.
The boundary between continental crust and oceanic crust occurs at the base of the lithosphere. This boundary is known as the Mohorovičić discontinuity, or Moho. It separates the less dense continental crust from the more dense oceanic crust below.
Divergent Boundary, (Constructive Boundary).
This would be called a Spreading center, or a divergent plate boundary.
transform boundary
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.
