Iceland is located on the boundary of what two tectonic plates?
Iceland is located on the boundary of the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates, which are slowly moving apart and causing the island to expand over time. This tectonic activity is responsible for the high levels of geothermal and volcanic activity found in Iceland.
What type of boundary is along ocean ridges?
Constructive or divergent. The ridge formed is of basaltic rock type (though this is a generalisation), and is a source of volcanic activity. Iceland was formed as a result of the sea-floor spreading.
How can i describe Iceland in terms of what geologic feature is located on and what type of lava would you expect it to be made of?
The Mid-Atlantic Ridge passes through, and is responsible for the creation of, the landmass known as Iceland. Because its creation is due to a divergent plate boundary, the lava would be mafic or basaltic due to the source of the upwelling magma being directly from the asthenosphere.
Which type of volcano formation would typically be found under convergent boundary?
single
What type of convergent plate boundary is found along the southern part of the Himalayas?
Subduction
Is Iceland on a Destructive plate boundary?
No, Iceland is on a constructive plate boundary.
What type of plate boundary runs across iceland?
Iceland is situated on a divergent plate boundary known as the Mid Atlantic Ridge. Please see the related links.
What type of plate boundary formed the volcanic island of Surtsey off the southern coast of Iceland?
Constructive
At what type of plate boundary are strike-slip faults found near?
A certain type of strike-slip fault is found at a transform plate boundary.
Is iceland an example of divegent boundary?
no
What type of plate boundary is most likely found in the Atlantic Ocean?

a tectonic plate
What is an example of a volcano on a diverging plate boundary?
The Bárðarbunga volcano in Iceland (currently erupting) is an example. A diverging plate boundary passes through the island of Iceland.
What type of volcano is found along convergent boundary?
Composite cone
Is iceland a convergent plate boundery?
No but is it on a divergent plate boundary
