It was the Eurasian Plate and the North american plat that caused the volcano to erupt. They rubbed against each other and caused shaking.

No. I hope the 3 who found that nonsense "useful" were not homework-plagiarists!

Eyjafjallajokul is a volcano forming part of the island of Iceland, itself part of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, the constructive plate boundary across which the Atlantic sea-floor plate is spreading. The Eurasian and North American Plates are parts of an ancient continent whose initial rifting started the Atlantic, but are now two completely separate entities connected by the Atlantic floor. Look at a relief-map of the ocean. The two continents are NOT "rubbing together"!
