Question
what type of boundary results in the creation of new oceanic crust? convergent boundaries transform boundaries divergent boundaries
Brief Explanations
Divergent boundaries occur where tectonic plates move apart. Magma rises to fill the gap, cools, and forms new oceanic crust. Convergent boundaries involve plates colliding (e.g., subduction), and transform boundaries involve plates sliding past each other (no crust creation/destruction in the sense of new crust formation like in divergent).
