Yes, in convergent boundaries, lithosphere crust can be destroyed. When two tectonic plates collide, typically an oceanic plate subducts beneath a continental plate or another oceanic plate, leading to the bending and melting of the subducted crust. This process can result in the formation of deep ocean trenches and volcanic arcs, effectively recycling the lithosphere into the mantle.
