Tectonic plates in Iceland. The tectonic plates whose turbulent interactions formed Iceland, are the Eurasian tectonic plate and the North American tectonic plate. Spanning the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, Iceland emerged as a result of the divergent, spreading, boundary between these two plates and the activity of IcelandÂ´s own hotspot or mantle plume.
Iceland is a place where a mid-ocean ridge can be seen on land. What's more, Iceland is probably the only place in the world where the effects of two major tectonic plates drifting apart can easily be observed above sea level.he lithosphere consists of continental crust and oceanic crust that surfaces in the ocean basins. Simply termed, a tectonic plate, often also referred to as lithospheric plate, is a massive slab of solid rock that floats separately from the other tectonic plates, interacting with them along the boundaries.
