Grimsvötn volcano is located in Iceland, which is the setting between two divergent oceanic plates (european and north american) takes place. In fact Iceland technically sists between these two plates where the north atlantic rige reaches above sea level. Grímsvötn is a part of the Grímsvötn-Laki volcanic system and erupts every 5-10 years, being the most active volcano in Iceland today.

Can volcanoes be cause by spreading tectonic plates?
no
Are volcanoes formed when tectonic plates are moving?
When the tectonic plates cause earthquake, it creates a crater in earth. This opening can lead to a volcano.
Why are most of the earthquakes and volcanoes located at the border of the tectonic plates?
Beacause plates, at tectonic, boundaries shift against each other.
What consequences does the tectonic plates have?
The tectonic plates are constantly moving around and if (or even when) they hit each other they cause earth quakes and even volcanoes.
How are earthquakes and volcanoes related to the theory of the plate tectonics?
They are both caused by movement of tectonic plates.
Are volcanoes in the center of tectonic plates?
no
Can volcanoes be cause by spreading tectonic plates?
no
What occurs at the edge of tectonic plates?
Scientists observed that volcanoes and earthquakes occur at the edge of tectonic plates.
Why are no volcanoes found in certain parts of world?
Volcanoes are only found on the edge of tectonic plates & they can also be found on cracks in the tectonic plates which is un-common
Where do volcanoes mostly form?
Volcanoes usually form where tectonic plates meet.
How are tectonic plates involved in causing earthquakes and volcanoes?
the tectonic plates shake under the earth causing earthquakes
Where are volcanoes most likely to develop?
On tectonic plates.

Over tectonic plates.
What primary cause of volcanoes and earthquakes?
Tectonic plates
