The table identifies the three types of tectonic plate boundaries on
Earth's surface and their effects on the lithosphere.
Different Types of Plate Boundaries
Types of Margin
Type 1
Type 2
Type 3
Ridge
Trench
Lithosphere
Asthenosphere Which three statements are correct about the effects of theseplate
boundaries on Earth's lithosphere? a
In Type 1 boundaries, new lithosphere will form because of theplates pulling apart from each other.
b
In Type 2 boundaries, one plate is forced under the other, causing the lithosphere to form trenches.
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.
a) In Type 1 boundaries, new lithosphere will form because of the plates pulling apart from each other.
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.
