    a divergent boundary on land

    Explanation:

    American tectonic plate. Spanning the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, Iceland emerged as a result of the divergent, spreading, boundary between these two plates and the activity of Iceland's own hotspot or mantle plume.

    A divergent boundary in the ocean is the type of plate boundary that created the volcanoes of Iceland.

    Explanation:

    Iceland is widely known for its volcanoes. Most of these volcanoes are active since the island is located on mid-Atlantic Ridge which is a divergent boundary under the ocean. The island has a vast number of volcanic systems that are currently active and out of which 13 have already erupted.

    A divergent boundary such as mid-Atlantic is created when 2 tectonic plates moves away from one other and the magma is forced out from the core of the Earth towards the surface to form the new crust on the surface.
