Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

New ocean crust is formed at oceanic rift zones, where two plates move apart from each other and magma rises to the surface to create new crust. Collision zones between continents or oceanic plates are associated with subduction, where one plate is forced beneath another and into the mantle. Oceanic trenches are also associated with subduction and the destruction, rather than formation, of crust.
