Submarine volcanoes.
a divergent boundary is where two of earth plates are moving
Yes, Hekla volcano is located in Iceland, which lies along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge where the North American and Eurasian plates are diverging rather than converging. However, Hekla's location is influenced by Iceland's unique tectonic setting and hotspot activity, rather than traditional converging plate boundaries.

Which volcanoes are located at hot spots
No, volcanoes do not typically form along spreading plate boundaries on land. Volcanic activity at spreading plate boundaries is more commonly associated with mid-ocean ridges where two tectonic plates are moving apart, allowing magma to rise to the surface and form new oceanic crust. Land-based volcanoes are more often found at convergent plate boundaries where one plate is subducting beneath another.
True. Volcanoes can form along diverging plate boundaries, where tectonic plates move apart. This movement allows magma to rise and create volcanic activity, eventually forming new crust as the magma cools and solidifies. An example of this is the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, where submarine volcanoes and rift zones are present due to the separation of the Eurasian and North American plates.

Mid-ocean ridges form at diverging oceanic plates. As the plates move apart, magma rises to fill the space, creating new oceanic crust. This process results in the formation of underwater mountain ranges along the divergent boundary.
The Ring of Fire is located along convergent plate boundaries, where tectonic plates are colliding. This results in volcanoes, earthquakes, and the formation of mountain ranges around the Pacific Ocean.
The two countries are Georgia and Russia. They are located along the Caucasus mountains and have parts of their boundaries within the European continent.
Most earthquakes occur on plate boundaries such as Japan and Chile and most volcanoes occur in diverging plate boundaries like Dallol and Iceland and the Pacific Ring of Fire like Ecuador and Indonesia
Eldfell is located on a divergent plate boundary, specifically along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge on the island of Heimaey in Iceland.
