What else can I help you with?
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.
What portion of the continental margin serves as a boundary between the oceanic crust and the continental crust?
The portion of the continental margin that serves as a boundary between the oceanic crust and the continental crust is known as the continental slope. This region transitions from the relatively shallow continental shelf to the steeper continental rise, leading down to the deep ocean floor. The slope marks the edge of the continental crust, where it meets the denser oceanic crust beneath the ocean.
What type of boundary oceanic crust?
Convergent boundary.
What type of boundary destroys oceanic crust?
Convergent boundary.
What boundary is it called when new crust is being formed?
Divergent Boundary, (Constructive Boundary).
How can crust disappear at the edge of the boundary?
New crust is being added to the other edge of the boundary
The best approximation of the true outer boundary of the continents is the seaward edge of?
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.
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.
What type of boundary oceanic crust?
Convergent boundary.
The boundary between continental crust and oceanic crust occurs at the base of the?
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.
What boundary does new crust form at?
Divergent plate boundary.
What type of boundary destroys oceanic crust?
Convergent boundary.
What boundary is it called when new crust is being formed?
Divergent Boundary, (Constructive Boundary).
What type of boundary is new ocean crust crust formed?
This would be called a Spreading center, or a divergent plate boundary.
Which boundary forms new crust?
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.
What type of boundary dose not create or destroy crust?
transform 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.
