The Mid-Atlantic Ridge (MAR) is a mid-ocean ridge, a divergent tectonic plate boundary located along the floor of the Atlantic Ocean, and part of thelongest mountain range in the world. It separates the Eurasian Plate and North American Plate in the North Atlantic, and the African Plate from the South American Plate in the South Atlantic. The Ridge extends from a junction with the Gakkel Ridge (Mid-Arctic Ridge) northeast of Greenland southward to theBouvet Triple Junction in the South Atlantic. Although the Mid-Atlantic Ridge is mostly an underwater feature, portions of it have enough elevation to extend above sea level. The section of the ridge which includes the island of Iceland is also known as the Reykjanes Ridge. The average spreading rate for the ridge is about 2.5 cm per year.[1]

The mid Atlantic ridge is a divergent plate boundary.
At divergent boundaries, two plates move apart from each other and the space that this creates is filled with new crustal material sourced from molten magma that forms below.
All mid ocean ridges are constructive plate boundaries.

no the mid- Atlantic ridge is a transform boundary
The Mid-Atlantic Ridge represents a divergent 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.
The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is a mid-ocean ridge, a divergent tectonic plate or constructive plate boundary located along the floor of the Atlantic Ocean, and part of the longest mountain range in the world.
Eyjafjallajokull is located in Iceland on the Mid-Atlantic-Ridge which separates the North American and Eurasian plates.
A divergent plate boundary.
The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is a divergent plate boundary, also known as a spreading center.
convergent boundary. cuz it is ridge
no the mid- Atlantic ridge is a transform boundary
The Mid-Atlantic Ridge represents a divergent plate boundary.
Divergent plate boundary: Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Transform plate boundary: San Andreas Fault.
the Mid-Atlantic Ridge is a divergent plate boundary, meaning the two plates are moving away from each other.
A constructive/divergent plate boundary
The North American-Eurasian Plate boundary.
The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is not actually a tectonic plate, but a divergent boundary between plates where new oceanic crust is being created on the floor of the Atlantic Ocean. To the north, it marks the boundary between the Eurasian Plate and the North American Plate. To the south, it separates the African Plate from the South American Plate.
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.
