The type of boundary where crust is created is called a divergent boundary. At these boundaries, tectonic plates move away from each other, allowing magma from the mantle to rise and solidify, forming new crust. This process often occurs along mid-ocean ridges, where underwater volcanic activity leads to the formation of new oceanic crust. Examples include the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and the East African Rift.
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.
Convergent boundary.
Convergent boundary.
No crust is created when a transform boundary pulls away from each other.
Transform boundary.
A conservative boundary, also known as a transform boundary, is where crust is neither created nor destroyed. This type of boundary occurs when two tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally.

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

A divergent boundary created the mid-ocean ridge. At this boundary, tectonic plates are moving away from each other, allowing magma to rise and create new oceanic crust along the ridge.
