Is Eyjafjallajokull on a constructive plate boundry?
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?
