Question

what type of boundary results in the creation of new oceanic crust? convergent boundaries divergent boundaries transform boundaries

Explanation:

Divergent boundaries occur where tectonic plates move apart. As they separate, magma from the mantle rises to fill the gap. This magma cools and solidifies, forming new oceanic crust. Convergent boundaries involve plates colliding (e.g., subduction where one plate goes under another), and transform boundaries are where plates slide past each other. Neither of these directly create new oceanic crust like divergent boundaries do.

Answer:

B. divergent boundaries
