A convergent boundary creates no new lithosphere, as it involves the collision of tectonic plates, leading to one plate being forced beneath another in a process called subduction. This results in the recycling of existing lithosphere rather than the formation of new material. Instead of producing new crust, convergent boundaries often lead to geological features like mountain ranges and deep ocean trenches.
What else can I help you with?
How is thickness of the lithosphere going to change as its moves away a divergent plate boundary?
As the lithosphere moves away from a divergent plate boundary, its thickness generally increases. This occurs because new oceanic crust is formed at the boundary through volcanic activity and then cools and solidifies as it moves away from the heat source. As it ages, the lithosphere becomes denser and thicker due to cooling and the accumulation of sediments. This process leads to a gradual thickening of the lithosphere away from the divergent boundary.
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.
Which plate boundary creates new land like the seafloor at the mid-Atlantic ridge?
A divergent plate boundary creates new land like the seafloor at the mid-Atlantic ridge. At these boundaries, tectonic plates move away from each other, allowing magma to rise up and solidify, forming new oceanic crust. As the crust cools and spreads outward, it creates new land in the form of the ocean floor.
New oceanic lithosphere forms as a result of?
New oceanic lithosphere forms as a result of seafloor spreading at mid-ocean ridges. Magma rises from the mantle, solidifies at the mid-ocean ridge, and creates new oceanic crust. This process leads to the continuous expansion of the ocean floor.
What is the process that creates new oceanic lithosphere at mild ocean ridges?
check out nasa dude have some common sense stupid you

When two plates move away from one another we have a?
It creates a divergent boundary.
What created divergent boundary?
creates new crust and allows magma to come through.
Which boundary type adds to the lithosphere the hard outer crust of the Earth?
Divergent

What island of New-zealand is bisected by a plate boundary and what kind of plate is this?
The 'South Island'. A collision boundary.
What happens to the ocean floor the farther the oceanic lithosphere is from a mid-ocean ridge?
Magma rises and slidifies and creates a new crust.
