Crust is formed at the edge of a tectonic plate by, when a volcano erupts, the lava or magma (same thing) hits the edge of a tectonic plate and cools and dries on the edge of that tectonic plate.
No. New oceanic crust is formed at a divergent boundary. A convergent boundary neither creates nor destroys crust.
Divergent Boundary, (Constructive Boundary).
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.
recessive plate boundary
A divergent boundary does not occur at a convergent boundary. At convergent boundaries, tectonic plates move towards each other and usually result in the formation of mountains, ocean trenches, or volcanic activity. In contrast, divergent boundaries occur when plates move away from each other and create new oceanic crust.

No. New oceanic crust is formed at a divergent boundary. A convergent boundary neither creates nor destroys crust.
New crust is formed at a divergent boundary
New crust is being added to the other edge of the boundary
Divergent plate boundary.
No, new crust is not created at a convergent boundary. Instead, at convergent boundaries, two tectonic plates come together and one plate is usually forced beneath the other in a process called subduction. This process can lead to the destruction of crust rather than the creation of new crust.
Divergent Boundary, (Constructive Boundary).
The type of boundary that forms when the crust of one plate is pushed down under another plate and turned into molten rock is referred to as a convergent boundary. Convergent boundaries form when oceanic crust slides beneath continental crust.
This would be called a Spreading center, or a divergent plate boundary.
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.
A mid-ocean ridge forms at the divergent plate boundary. This boundary initially forms rifts that later on become rift valleys.
