Grimsvotn is a hotspot volcano on a diverrrgent plate boundry (Mid-Atlantic Ridge)
Sumarii and logerns plates
The Gr?msvotn Volcano is a Caldera type volcano. The last eruption of the Gr?msvotn Volcano occurred in the year 2011.
Found from research, the Grimsvotn Volcano in Iceland is located on a plate boundary, like most volcanoes. But it's located on a divergent plate boundary, meaning the tectonic plates are moving apart, creating new crust material.
how should i know? im tryin look 4 i but now i have 2 answer it... smh >:(

Grimsvotn volcano, located in Iceland, has had eruptions with a range of Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI) values. The most recent major eruption in 2011 had a VEI of 4, producing significant ash clouds that disrupted air travel in Europe. However, past eruptions at Grimsvotn have reached VEI 6, making them much larger and more explosive.
the nearby areas were evacuated because they feared flooding from the melting glacier and all planes going that way were suspended in case their engines clogged up with smoke

it was formed by being formed
The eastern and northwestern portion of the Icelandic landmass are the oldest, having formed more than three million years ago. Between those two areas lies an inverted Y-shaped area (in a Southwestern-Northeastern direction) that is part of the Mid-Atlantic Rift, which is less than 700,000 years old. This is where the tectonic plates meet. New land is forming here constantly, as North America and Europe are moving further and further apart.
