How is new crust continually being formed?

New crust is continually being formed at mid-ocean ridges through the process of seafloor spreading. Magma rises from the mantle and solidifies at the ridges, creating new crust as tectonic plates move apart. The crust then slowly spreads outward as more magma comes up, constantly renewing the Earth's surface.


Where did the crust on the Earth come from?

The Earth some times oceanic crust is formed by the process of mid oceanic ridges. this process occurs when magma comes from the mantle and cool below oceanic body & form new crust.

In sea floor spreading where does new crust come from?

New crust is formed at mid-ocean ridges through the upwelling of magma from the mantle. As plates move apart, the magma solidifies and creates new oceanic crust. This process is part of the theory of plate tectonics and helps drive the movement of Earth's lithospheric plates.


If molten magma oozes out of the ocean floor and creates additional crustal material what will happen if there comes a time when there is too much crust?

New crust sometimes rides over existing crust, burying it, and sometimes it folds up, creating mountains.

New crust forms what kind of new boundaries?

New crust forms at divergent boundaries, where tectonic plates move away from each other. This process can occur in oceanic or continental crust.
