The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is not actually a tectonic plate, but a divergent boundary between plates where new oceanic crust is being created on the floor of the Atlantic Ocean. To the north, it marks the boundary between the Eurasian Plate and the North American Plate. To the south, it separates the African Plate from the South American Plate.
Surtsey is located on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, which is the boundary between the North American Plate and the Eurasian Plate.
The Mid-Atlantic Ridge separates the Eurasian Plate from the North American Plate.
The North American and Eurasian Plates in the North Atlantic and the South American and African Plates in the South Atlantic border the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.

A constructive plate margin (which is where 2 plates move away from each other). Over a long period of time, magma rised to fill the gap where two plates moved, forming this mid Atlantic ridge.
The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is a divergent plate boundary, also known as a spreading center.
Surtsey is located on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, which is the boundary between the North American Plate and the Eurasian Plate.
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-Atlantic Ridge separates the Eurasian Plate from the North American Plate.

The southern half of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge separates the South American Plate from the African Plate.

No, the Mid Atlantic Ridge is where the two plates are diverging, which creates more oceanic floor.
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 (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
