A. In Type 1 boundaries, new lithosphere will form because of the plates pulling apart from each other. [Correct]
B. In Type 2 boundaries, one plate is forced under the other, causing the lithosphere to form trenches. [Correct]
C. In Type 3 boundaries, one plate slides next to the other, creating ocean mountain ranges. [Incorrect - Type 3 boundaries are actually associated with the sliding of plates past each other horizontally, creating transform faults where earthquakes occur.]
D. Earthquakes tend to occur at both Type 2 and Type 3 boundaries. [Correct]
E. Volcanoes tend to occur at both Type 1 and Type 3 boundaries. [Incorrect - volcanoes are more commonly associated with Type 1 boundaries where plates pull apart, creating magma chambers and volcanic activity.]
Which three statements are correct about the effects of these plate boundaries on Earth’s lithosphere?
A. In Type 1 boundaries, new lithosphere will form because of the plates pulling apart from each other.

C. In Type 3 boundaries, one plate slides next to the other, creating ocean mountain ranges.
D. Earthquakes tend to occur at both Type 2 and Type 3 boundaries.
E. Volcanoes tend to occur at both Type 1 and Type 3 boundaries.
