New ocean crust is formed at _____.

continental volcanic arcs

transform fault boundaries

convergent boundaries

divergent boundaries

New ocean crust is formed at divergent boundaries. At these boundaries, tectonic plates move apart from each other, and magma from the mantle rises to fill the gap, solidifying to create new oceanic crust. This process commonly occurs along mid-ocean ridges.
