Is Iceland on a Destructive plate boundary?
No, Iceland is on a constructive plate boundary.
Is iceland a convergent plate boundery?
No but is it on a divergent plate boundary
What is an example of a volcano on a diverging plate boundary?
The Bárðarbunga volcano in Iceland (currently erupting) is an example. A diverging plate boundary passes through the island of Iceland.
What does Iceland sit on?
Iceland sits atop two plates, the Eurasian Plate and the North American Plate, also referred to as the Mid Atlantic Ridge.
What type of plate boundary runs across iceland?
Iceland is situated on a divergent plate boundary known as the Mid Atlantic Ridge. Please see the related links.
What tectonic plates are causing volcanic action around Iceland?
Iceland sits on the boundary between the North American plate and the Eurasian plate.
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 fault line runs through Iceland?
Iceland is located on the Mid-Atlantic-Ridge. This is a divergent tectonic plate boundary.
Where does a hot spot meet a divergent plate boundary?
Iceland, (The mid-atlantic Ridge)
Are hot spots plate boundaries?
They can occur anywhere. For example the Hawaiian islands are caused by a hot spot thought to be created by a mantle plume and they are a very large distance away from any plate boundary. However some geophysicists also believe that Iceland sits atop a hotspot that is also caused by a mantle plume that coincidentally coincides with a tectonic plate boundary (the Mid-Atlantic-Ridge).
What is a famous known plate boundary?
The San Andreas fault -- the boundary between the Pacific and North American plates
