Best Answer

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.
