Yes. It is believed to have erupted in 2010 twice because of the constructive margin. The plates were pulled apart by convection currents then because of this basalt lava seeps in to form a new crust beneath the sea and existing volcano. Much of the magma was intruded as dolerite dykes (thin sheets of igneous rock.) New lava and dykes then added extra crust at each side of the spreading ridge.

Is Eyjafjallajokull on a plate boundary?
Yes. Eyjafjallajokull is located in Iceland and is situated on or very near the Mid-Atlantic-Ridge which is a divergent plate boundary.

What caused Eyjafjallajokull volcano to errupt?
Eyjafjallajokull is on 2 plate boundaries, and these boundaries are moving apart, so plate movements have caused this Icelandic volcano to erupt increasingly.
