Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

New ocean crust is formed at oceanic rift zones, where magma rises to the surface and solidifies, creating new crust. Along collision zones between two continents and in oceanic trenches, crust is being destroyed through subduction. Along collision zones between two oceanic plates, one plate may be subducted or both plates may be lifted up, but new ocean crust is not formed.
