Iceland The Mid-Atlantic Ridge A divergent/constructive plate margin

Where is Iceland?

d_ocean_ridge

Your task From all the resources available produce a case study of volcanic activity in Iceland. Include the following: Where is Iceland – which plates, direction, processes etc? What tectonic landforms/features are formed here? What are the social, economic and environmental impacts of these? How do people respond to these events (locally and globally as appropriate)?
