The North American and Eurasian plates separate to form the North Atlantic Ridge.
Eyjafjallajokull is located in Iceland on the Mid-Atlantic-Ridge which separates the North American and Eurasian plates.
The North American and Eurasian plates, between which is the Mid-Atlantic ridge - the location of Eyja. On the Mid-Atlantic Ridge - as at all constructive plate boundaries - the two plates move apart from each other. As they separate magma easily escapes to fill the gap, either as a relatively gentle eruption or a lava flow.
Eyjafjallajokull is located in Iceland on the Mid-Atlantic-Ridge which separates the North American and Eurasian plates.
The mid Atlantic Ridge plates are moving apart at approximately 2.5 to 3 centimeters per year.
it corresponds to the south american, african, north american, and eurasian plates
The North American and Eurasian Plates in the North Atlantic and the South American and African Plates in the South Atlantic border the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.
The Mid-Atlantic Ridge
Eyjafjallajokull is located in Iceland on the Mid-Atlantic-Ridge which separates the North American and Eurasian plates.
Surtsey is located on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, which is the boundary between the North American Plate and the Eurasian Plate.
The North American and Eurasian plates, between which is the Mid-Atlantic ridge - the location of Eyja. On the Mid-Atlantic Ridge - as at all constructive plate boundaries - the two plates move apart from each other. As they separate magma easily escapes to fill the gap, either as a relatively gentle eruption or a lava flow.
Plates on either side of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge are oceanic plates.
The Eurasian Plate and the North American Plate
The four plates that make up the Mid Atlantic ridge are the North and South American Plates, the Eurasian plate, and the African Plate.
The mid Atlantic Ridge plates are moving apart at approximately 2.5 to 3 centimeters per year.
A spreading ridge, where two plates diverge.
