Which of the following statements concerning past or present plate tectonic processes is FALSE? New lithosphere is created at divergent plate boundaries while older lithosphere can be recycled at convergent plate boundaries. Subduction of the seafloor can result in island arcs being welded onto the margins of continents to become exotic terranes. Continent collision zones will always evolve into subduction zones as the weight of their mountains eventually causes the plates to sink. Transform boundaries are where plates simply slide past one another without new lithosphere being created or old lithosphere destroyed.
