Question

at which point is crust neither created nor destroyed?
island chain
mid - ocean ridge
divergent boundary
transform boundary

Explanation:

Brief Explanations
  • Island chains are formed by volcanic activity related to subduction (crust destruction in some cases).
  • Mid - ocean ridges are sites of new crust creation (divergent boundaries where magma rises).
  • Divergent boundaries are where new crust is formed as tectonic plates move apart.
  • Transform boundaries are where tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally. There is no net creation or destruction of crust at transform boundaries.

Answer:

transform boundary
