divergent
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.
When two tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally, the boundary between them is called a transform boundary. This type of boundary is characterized by lateral movement along fault lines, such as the San Andreas Fault in California.
A consecutive plate boundary is a boundary where two or more tectonic plates interact one after another. This can lead to a series of different tectonic processes such as subduction, transform faulting, and spreading. An example of a consecutive plate boundary is the boundary between the Pacific Plate, North American Plate, and Juan de Fuca Plate in the western United States.
Mt Eyjafjallajökull (whew!) is on 2 different tectonic plates.
The tectonic boundary in Sichuan Province, China is mainly associated with the collision between the Indian Plate and the Eurasian Plate. This collision has resulted in the uplift of the Tibetan Plateau and the seismic activity in the region, including the devastating 2008 Wenchuan earthquake.

The boundary is between the Australian Plate and the Pacific Plate.

The mid-ocean ridge is formed along a divergent or constructive plate boundary between two plates of oceanic crust.
The boundary between the Eurasian and Australian tectonic plates is primarily a convergent boundary. This type of boundary is characterized by the collision and subduction of tectonic plates, leading to geological phenomena such as mountain building and earthquakes. In this region, the Indo-Australian Plate is subducting beneath the Eurasian Plate, contributing to the formation of features like the Himalayan mountain range and associated seismic activity.
Greenland primarily lies on the North American tectonic plate and is influenced by the boundary between the North American Plate and the Eurasian Plate, which is a divergent boundary. This boundary is characterized by the separation of tectonic plates, leading to geological activity such as rifting and volcanic activity. Additionally, Greenland's geological structure is shaped by the effects of glaciation and erosion, rather than being defined by a specific tectonic boundary type.
