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.
Chemically, rocks in Iceland reflect their origin at a hot spot in the middle of the ocean. Another such hot spot-they are 25-30 in all-is Hawaii in the Pacific Ocean which is characterised by many of the same types of rock as Iceland. There is, however, one interesting exception:(dacite and rhyolite) are much more common in Iceland than in Hawaii, where such rocks are almost totally absent, and in fact Iceland is probably quite unique among oceanic islands in this respect.sked By.
