Answer 1

Based on the information regarding tectonic plate boundaries, the correct statements about the effects of these boundaries on Earth’s lithosphere are:

1. A: In Type 1 boundaries (divergent boundaries), new lithosphere will form because the plates are pulling apart from each other. This process typically creates mid-ocean ridges where magma rises to fill the gap.

2. B: In Type 2 boundaries (convergent boundaries), one plate is forced under the other (subduction), causing the formation of trenches and can lead to volcanic activity.

3. D: Earthquakes tend to occur at both Type 2 (convergent) and Type 3 (transform) boundaries. Convergent boundaries are associated with significant seismic activity due to the interactions of the plates.

The statements that are not correct are:

• C: In Type 3 boundaries (transform boundaries), one plate slides past the other, and these do not typically create ocean mountain ranges. They can lead to earthquakes but not to the formation of mountain ranges as seen in convergent boundaries.

• E: Volcanoes are primarily associated with Type 1 (divergent) and Type 2 (convergent) boundaries. They are less common at Type 3 (transform) boundaries.

Thus, the correct statements are A, B, and D.

Answer 3

Sure! Here are the three correct statements about the effects of tectonic plate boundaries on Earth's lithosphere:

1. A: In Type 1 boundaries, new lithosphere will form because of the plates pulling apart from each other.

2. B: In Type 2 boundaries, one plate is forced under the other, causing the lithosphere to form trenches.

3. D: Earthquakes tend to occur at both Type 2 and Type 3 boundaries.

These three statements accurately describe the effects of the respective plate boundaries on the lithosphere.
