Transform boundary.
No. New oceanic crust is formed at a divergent boundary. A convergent boundary neither creates nor destroys crust.
Convergent boundary.
A convergent boundary that does not have a subduction zone is a continental-continental convergent boundary. At this type of boundary, two continental plates collide and crumple, leading to the formation of mountain ranges, such as the Himalayas. Since both plates are buoyant and primarily composed of continental crust, neither plate is forced beneath the other, unlike in oceanic-continental or oceanic-oceanic boundaries.
A convergent boundary forms when an oceanic plate is pushed under a continental plate. This process, known as subduction, can result in the formation of deep ocean trenches, volcanic arcs, and earthquakes.

A convergent boundary between a continental plate and an oceanic plate
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.

There are 3 types of Convergent boundaries, they are; 1. Continental-continental convergent boundary. 2. Continental-oceanic convergent boundary. 3. Oceanic-oceanic convergent boundary.
At a convergent boundary between two oceanic plates, one plate is subducted beneath the other due to differences in density. This subduction creates a trench in the ocean floor and can lead to volcanic island arcs as magma rises to the surface. The intense pressure and friction at this boundary can also cause earthquakes. Over time, this process contributes to the recycling of oceanic crust into the mantle.
