Divergent boundary
Yes, the Mid-Atlantic Ridge is a divergent boundary, not a transform fault.
The mid-Atlantic ridge is a divergent boundary where tectonic plates are moving apart. It is an example of a constructive plate boundary where new oceanic crust is formed through volcanic activity. This process leads to the continuous separation of the North American and Eurasian plates on one side and the South American and African plates on the other side.
The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is a divergent boundary where tectonic plates are moving away from each other. It is primarily associated with constructive plate margins where new crust is being created through seafloor spreading.
Eyjafjallajokull is located in Iceland on the Mid-Atlantic-Ridge which separates the North American and Eurasian plates.
The Mid-Atlantic Ridge (MAR) is a mid-ocean ridge, a divergent tectonic plate boundary located along the floor of the Atlantic Ocean, and part of thelongest mountain range in the world. It separates the Eurasian Plate and North American Plate in the North Atlantic, and the African Plate from the South American Plate in the South Atlantic. The Ridge extends from a junction with the Gakkel Ridge (Mid-Arctic Ridge) northeast of Greenland southward to theBouvet Triple Junction in the South Atlantic. Although the Mid-Atlantic Ridge is mostly an underwater feature, portions of it have enough elevation to extend above sea level. The section of the ridge which includes the island of Iceland is also known as the Reykjanes Ridge. The average spreading rate for the ridge is about 2.5 cm per year.[1]en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mid-Atlantic_Ridge
The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is a divergent plate boundary, also known as a spreading center.

The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is a divergent boundary where tectonic plates are moving away from each other. It is primarily associated with constructive plate margins where new crust is being created through seafloor spreading.
The mid-ocean ridge is formed along a divergent or constructive plate boundary between two plates of oceanic crust. A classic example is the Mid-Atlantic Ridge where the Eurasian and African Plates are moving away from the North and South American Plates.
The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is an example of a mid-ocean ridge. It is a divergent boundary where tectonic plates are moving away from each other, causing magma to rise up and create new crust. The Mid-Atlantic Ridge runs down the center of the Atlantic Ocean.
Eyjafjallajokull is located in Iceland on the Mid-Atlantic-Ridge which separates the North American and Eurasian plates.
Surtsey is located on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, which is the boundary between the North American Plate and the Eurasian Plate.
It is a transform boundary.
