New crust is created at a

  • A.convergent boundary
  • B.transform boundary
  • C.collision boundary
  • D.divergent boundary

Answer: D

Correct answer: divergent boundary

At a divergent boundary the plates move apart, mantle material rises to fill the gap, and new oceanic crust is created - the process that builds the mid-ocean ridges. Convergent boundaries destroy crust, and transform boundaries neither create nor destroy it, so the three boundary types together keep the earth’s surface area constant.
