divergent boundary
A transform boundary occurs when tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally, causing earthquakes. On the other hand, a convergent boundary forms when two tectonic plates collide, leading to the formation of mountains, trenches, and volcanic activity.
Chile is located at a boundary between two tectonic plates.
The active boundary between plates is called a plate boundary. It is where tectonic plates meet and interact, leading to various geological processes such as earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the formation of mountain ranges. Examples of plate boundaries include convergent boundaries where plates collide, divergent boundaries where plates move apart, and transform boundaries where plates slide past each other.
The North American and Caribbean tectonic plates caused the Haiti earthquake in 2010. The movement along the boundary between these two plates resulted in the devastating earthquake.

The earthquake tranforms boundary between the two tectonic plates.
Europe is largely situated on the Eurasian Plate, but some regions are affected by other tectonic plates. For instance, the boundary between the Eurasian Plate and the North American Plate runs through Iceland, causing the country to be split between the two plates. Additionally, parts of Turkey are located on the boundary between the Eurasian Plate and the African Plate.

Eyjafjallajökull is located on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, which is the boundary between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. So technically, it is on the divide between two tectonic plates.

The mid-ocean ridge is formed along a divergent or constructive plate boundary between two plates of oceanic crust.
A divergent boundary is a boundary between two tectonic plates that are moving away from each other. This movement creates new crust as magma rises from the mantle and solidifies, forming mid-ocean ridges on the seafloor.
A convergent boundary is where plates move together.
The boundary is between the Australian Plate and the Pacific Plate.
