In Iceland mid-Atlantic Ridge runs through the center of the country. What can you conclude about the appearance of Iceland many thousands of years from now

Answers

Iceland is a country that is located right above a mid-ocean ridge. This actually makes the country being divided in two parts geologically speaking, as the western half is part of the North American plate, while the eastern half is part of the Eurasian plate.

Iceland has formed because of intense volcanic activity at the mid-ocean ridge in the North Atlantic Ocean. As more and more magma has been propelled at the divergent boundary, the mid-ocean ridge has been growing in size, and over time it gradually became so high that it came out above the surface of the water.

The volcanic activity has continued, and it still is, and the volcanic eruptions constantly provide new lava flows, which create new crust, thus solidify the island and make it a long lasting one, not allowing the erosion to gradually level it and destroy it.
