What plate movement can result in new crust forming and why?
Divergent boundaries; these boundaries pull apart and magma surfaces through the opening to cool and create new crust.
Convergent Boundaries; These boundaries push together creating openings for magma to come through from the mantel and create new crust (often as a result of a volcano)
