At a divergent plate boundary new crust is created as two or more plates pull away from each other. An example of a rift where land between two continents are being pulled apart is the Great Rift Valley.
A divergent boundary is a boundary between two tectonic plates that are moving away from each other. This movement creates new crust as magma rises from the mantle and solidifies, forming mid-ocean ridges on the seafloor.
A transform boundary is a type of plate boundary where tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally. Before the formation of a transform boundary, the movement of tectonic plates may have been different, such as moving towards each other at a convergent boundary or moving apart at a divergent boundary. After the formation of a transform boundary, the movement of tectonic plates changes to sliding past each other horizontally, which can cause earthquakes and create new geological features.
Eyjafjallajökull sits on the boundary of the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates in Iceland. The volcano is located on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, which is a divergent boundary where the two plates are moving apart.
Mt Eyjafjallajökull (whew!) is on 2 different tectonic plates.
two tectonic plates meet usually at mid ocean ridges (eg Iceland) and at destructive plate boundaries (eg Japan).

It's staying still. A mobile belt is the tectonic boundary between plates.
Convergent: plates move into one another.Divergent: plates move apart.Transform: plates move sideways in relation to each other.

A convergent plate boundary is a place where tectonic plates are moving together. The plates are sliding across the the plastic asthenosphere.
the tectonic plates move and the lava rises

The earthquake tranforms boundary between the two tectonic plates.
Plate boundaries.
A transform boundary occurs when tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally, causing earthquakes. On the other hand, a convergent boundary forms when two tectonic plates collide, leading to the formation of mountains, trenches, and volcanic activity.
Tectonic plates are the plates that move underground and cause volcanoes - I hope this answers your question. Z
