The plate movement of the North American Plate relative to the Eurasian plate is based on the model in DeMets, C., Gordon, R.G. and Argus, D.F., 2010. Geologically current plate motions. Geophysical journal international, 181(1), pp.1-80. Technically while the 2 decimal place accuracy possible for each year or period, the observations between ...
The thicker red lines represent diverging plate boundaries, the narrow lines intra-plate volcanism, the dotted line propagating rift, and dashes transform fault zones. As of 16 February 2024 by agreement between the authors this file is identical to File:Outline of Iceland Deformation and Volcanic Zones.svg to avoid potential confusion.
English: Map showing the Mid-Atlantic Ridge splitting Iceland and separating the North American and Eurasian Plates. The map also shows Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland, the Thingvellir area, and the locations of some of Iceland's active volcanoes (red triangles), including Krafla.
The complexity in the TFZ can be generally explained by the magmatic processes and plate motions. The velocity of the divergent plate motion, estimated to be 18.9 ± 0.5 mm (0.744 ± 0.020 in)/year is strongly affected by the Icelandic mantle plume underneath central Iceland. [12]
English: Map in English of the volcanic system of Iceland Íslenska: Gosbelti Íslands . A similar but different image that may have informed part of the original image that was created in 2008 is in Sveinn P. Jakobsson, Kristján Jónasson og Ingvar A. Sigurðsson 2008.
Map of hotspots. Iceland is number 14. The geology of Iceland is unique and of particular interest to geologists. Iceland lies on the divergent boundary between the Eurasian plate and the North American plate. It also lies above a hotspot, the Iceland plume. The plume is believed to have caused the formation of Iceland itself, the island first ...
