Research has concluded that the "key ingredient" to the creation of new continental crust is __________. the freezing of subduct
ing oceanic crust located in a subduction zone the melting of converging oceanic crust located in a subduction zone the melting of subducting oceanic crust located in a subduction zone the freezing of converging oceanic crust located in a subduction zone
the melting of converging oceanic crust located in a subduction zone
Explanation:
As magma needs to be converted into the formation of a new crust the burning if the oceanic plate under the lighter late created by a subduction zone that recycles all the material in the crust of the earth and this leads to the formation of the newer plates form below and as there is continuous upwelling of the lava at the mid-oceanic trenches the newer plates are formed every day and keep spreading fir the center.
the melting of subduct oceanic crust located in a subduct zone i am not 100% sure but i am like 99% sure that this is the correct answer it is what was on my test that is correct
