How was Japan made?

What modern process is thought to be similar to the way crust formed before plate tectonics began?
The formation of the Hawaiian Islands
What happens when new oceanic crust forms?
Actually nothing significant happens after that, the cycle just continues. Are you sure you wanted to know what happens when a new oceanic crust forms or how is a new oceanic crust formed? If you meant how a new oceanic crust is formed then here is the answer>>>> New oceanic crust forms when the divergent plate margins move away from each other leaving a gap, then magma rises to fill that gap, then it cools and turns solid and forms new land. :) I hope this was helpful!
Is a new oceanic crust formed at a transform fault boundary?
No. New oceanic crust is formed at a divergent boundary. A convergent boundary neither creates nor destroys crust.
How is new crust continually being formed?
new crust is always being formed by magma erupting from volcanoes and then cooling into rock making new crust. -Jacob Halon
What does the formation of a crater follow?
There are craters formed by asteroids crashing into Earth. There are craters formed by volcanic explosions. There are craters formed by collapses in the Earth's crust.

Which boundry does a rift valley forrm at?
divergant boundries. new rock is formed and pushes the older seafloor outward towards the continental crust.
How does hot rock near mid-ocean ridges cause plates to move?
Hot material is constantly welling up from beneath the crust via convection and forming new crust as it cools. The continuous formation of new crust pushes the old crust outward from the mid-ocean ridges.
What part of the rock cycle occur deep in earths crust?
The formation of intrusive igneous and metamorphic rocks.
What modern process is thought to be similar to the way crust formed before plate tectonics began?
The formation of the Hawaiian Islands
The oceanic crust begins at the continental shelf or rise?
The oceanic crust begins at the continental rise
Where new crust is formed?
New crust is formed at a divergent boundary
When is crust neither formed or destroyed?
Where is the crust neither formed nor destroyed? -In the subduction zone the crust is neither formed nor destroyed.
What does the large crystals show about the rock formation?
It shows that the rock is a plutonic rock and was formed as a result of slow cooling within the earths crust/interior.
Is tuff formed in the oceanic crust?
No. Tuff is not formed in the crust but on the surface. Tuff is a kind of rock formed from volvanic ash.
What is formed through the uplift under the earths crust?
crust
