Does Iceland have earthquakes?
It is on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and the Iceland Hotspot. This is a very geologically active area resulting in lots of volcanic eruptions and earthquakes.
What is the cause of volcanic activity in Iceland?
There are two causes of earthquakes in Iceland. First, it lies on a plate boundary. Movement of the tectonic plates drives some earthquakes. Iceland is volcanically active. The movement of magma underground causes some earthquakes.
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 is in the north Atlantic Ocean is a volcanic island formed over a hot spot on a divergent plate boundary?
I believe this is Iceland, however it is not necessarily a hotspot as such, as notable hotspots do not occur on plate boundaries. An example of a hotspot is under Hawaii and neighbouring islands.
What is the area where magma from deep within the mantle melts through the crust?
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.
How often do volcanoes erupt in Iceland?
Iceland sits on a volcanic hotspot in the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and has relatively frequent eruptions, though most occur in sparsely populated areas and pose little danger to people or property. The last eruption was on April 14, 2010.
Why is Reykjavik using geothermal energy?
Iceland sits right smack dab on a huge hotspot and so, the water underground right above the hot mantle rock makes steam, which is then harvested to make energy.
Does the Samsung Galaxy s3 have a hotspot?
Yes, you can use your Galaxy S3 as a mobile hotspot. However, your cellular carrier may require a monthly mobile hotspot plan in order for the hotspot to function.
How do you get wifi personal hotspot on a iPod touch 4g?

How many volcanoes are there in Iceland?
There are about 130 volcanic mountains in Iceland and 18 of them have erupted since Iceland was settled (874). Iceland is one of the most active volcanic sites in the world. Which is because not only is Iceland sitting on top of the boundary of the North-American and Eurasian tectonic plates but also on top of a volcanic hotspot in the Mid-Atlantic rift.
What is a disaster hotspot?
a disaster hotspot is an area in which disasters are more likely to occur
