Question
at which type of plate boundary is new oceanic crust created? question 2 convergent boundary erosional boundary divergent boundary transform boundary choose a response.
At divergent boundaries, tectonic plates move apart. Magma rises from the mantle to fill the gap, cooling and forming new oceanic crust. Convergent boundaries involve plates colliding (subduction or mountain - building, no new crust creation). Erosional boundaries are not a standard plate boundary type. Transform boundaries involve plates sliding past each other (no crust creation).
