Iceland near volcano situated?
there will be volcanoes located on Iceland as it is located on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. this is a plate boundary where 2 of the tectonic plate edges are slowly moving away from each other. the plates are that are responsible for volcanoes in Iceland in particular are the North American Plate and the Eurasian Plate(mainly Europe). as these 2 places move away from each other, the magma/ lava underneath rises up to fill the gap, forming volcanoes.
A boundary where two plates meet and collide forming mountains is called a?
A boundary where two plates meet and collide forming mountains is called a convergent boundary. It is also known as destructive 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.
Is an area where material from deep within the mantle rises and then melts forming magma?
This is known as a hotspot. Examples include the hotspot responsible for the Hawaiian Ridge-Emperor Seamounts chain and the one responsible for the significant volcanism of Iceland.
What type of plate boundary runs across iceland?

Is iceland a convergent plate boundery?
No but is it on a divergent plate boundary
Why Icelandic disasters are not expected in Tibet?
Icelandic disasters are not expected in Tibet because of the climate. Iceland has a different boundary than Tibet so volcanoes errupt in Iceland. Tibet has a different kind of boundary from Iceland so it causes earthquakes.
What fault line runs through Iceland?
