Creation:When rising convection current of magma reach the surface,it push the plates apart along the crack,the welling magma would then fill the crack and eventually cools down to be new crust material.

Destruction: When sinking convection current of magma occurs,the plates would collide. Under the pull of gravity,the denser of the two would sink below the other and meltdown,being destroyed.

Why do many oceanic volcanoes occur as long lines of volcanoes that are active at only one end? O The lithosphere moves over a s
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

The active volcanoes are gradually moving away from the oceanic ridge.

Explanation:

  • Many oceanic volcanoes occur as long lines of the active end of volcanoes as here in the mid-oceanic ridges the plate is pushed far away from the ridge surface of the earth as these tend to move out in the direction of the movement of the plates.
  • Thus the volcanoes are generally found near the active zones or regions of the tectonic plate and associated with the earthquakes occurring on the fault line or shear lines of the plates.
  • Spreading of the ridges as a result of the seafloor spreading takes place and the mantel and plates from below are the driving forces that make the volcanoes and convection current that rises through the mantle pushes or spread the volcanoes to the sides like seen in the ring of fire.
