What type of boundary is new ocean crust crust formed?

This would be called a Spreading center, or a divergent plate boundary.


Which feature is commonly formed at a plate boundary where oceanic crust converges with continental crust?

A deep ocean trench is commonly formed at a plate boundary where oceanic crust converges with continental crust. The oceanic crust is denser and is forced beneath the lighter continental crust, creating a deep trench.


Is subduction zone is where new crust is being formed?

No, subduction zones are where tectonic plates collide and one plate is forced beneath the other. New crust is formed at divergent plate boundaries, where plates move apart and magma rises to create new crust.


Is Mt Etna on a convergent divergent or transform plate boundary?

Mount Etna Was Formed By Destructive Plate Boundaries. This Is When One Crust Is Forced Under Another Crust. It Stands At The Convergent Boundary Where The African Crust Is Being Sub Ducted Beneath The Eurasian Crust. This Causes The Latter To Deform And Forces the Magma Up Into Weak Spots In The Earths Crust (mount Etna) When There Has Become To Much Of A Magma Build Up In The Mantle.


Is teide formed on a convergent plate boundary?

No, Teide is not formed on a convergent plate boundary. It is a volcano located on the island of Tenerife, which is part of the Canary Islands, formed by a hotspot beneath the Earth's crust, creating a volcanic hotspot.


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 boundary is the crust neither created nor destroyed?

The boundary where the Earth's crust is neither created nor destroyed is known as a conservative plate boundary. At these boundaries, tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally without forming or destroying crust. This type of boundary is associated with transform faults.


What happens on a divergent plate boundary?

the two plates are moving away from each other, and new crust is formed.


What do you call a plate boundary in which no new crust is made or destroyed?

recessive plate boundary


What are conservative plate boundaries?

Conservative plate boundaries, also known as transform boundaries, are areas where tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally. This movement can cause earthquakes as the plates grind against each other. An example of a conservative plate boundary is the San Andreas Fault in California.


What boundary does new crust form at?

Divergent plate boundary.
