Crust (more accurately lithosphere) is destroyed by melting as it is subducted into the asthenosphere.
No. New oceanic crust is formed at a divergent boundary. A convergent boundary neither creates nor destroys 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.
Convergent boundary.
Convergent boundary.
Divergent Boundary, (Constructive Boundary).
New crust is being added to the other edge of the boundary

Convergent boundary.
Convergent boundary.
Divergent plate boundary.
The boundary between continental crust and oceanic crust occurs at the base of the lithosphere. This boundary is known as the Mohorovičić discontinuity, or Moho. It separates the less dense continental crust from the more dense oceanic crust below.
Divergent Boundary, (Constructive Boundary).
This would be called a Spreading center, or a divergent plate boundary.
transform boundary
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.
