Iceland and the Azores are both located along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, a divergent tectonic plate boundary where the Eurasian and North American plates are moving apart. This geological activity causes volcanic eruptions and the formation of new land, which is evident in Iceland's landscape. The Azores, situated further south, also experience volcanic activity due to the same tectonic processes. Both regions serve as important sites for studying the dynamics of plate tectonics and the formation of oceanic islands.
