Divergent Boundary, (Constructive Boundary).
No. New oceanic crust is formed at a divergent boundary. A convergent boundary neither creates nor destroys crust.
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.
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.
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.
At convergent boundaries are boundaries the crust is destroyed by subduction of oceanic crust underneath continental crust or other oceanic crust.
This would be called a Spreading center, or a divergent plate boundary.
New crust is formed at a divergent boundary
No. New oceanic crust is formed at a divergent boundary. A convergent boundary neither creates nor destroys crust.
Actually, a boundary is typically formed between plates when they move past each other horizontally. This type of boundary is called a transform plate boundary. When plates separate, they form a divergent boundary, where new crust is created as magma rises and solidifies at the mid-ocean ridge.
New crust is being added to the other edge of the boundary
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.
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.
Crust is being made there, from the upwelling of magma.
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.

At convergent boundaries are boundaries the crust is destroyed by subduction of oceanic crust underneath continental crust or other oceanic crust.
Crust can disappear at the edge of a boundary through subduction, where one tectonic plate is pushed beneath another. This process causes the crust to be pulled into the mantle and reabsorbed, leading to the disappearance of crust at the boundary.
