Iceland Hot Spot lies on a divergent plate boundary. Divergent boundaries are where tectonic plates move apart. Iceland is located on the Mid - Atlantic Ridge, which is a classic example of a divergent plate boundary. At divergent boundaries, magma rises from the mantle to create new crust as the plates separate.
