Show transcript
Iceland is located on the Mid Atlantic Ridge where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates diverge. The eruption of Eyjafjallajökull occurred on 14 April 2010 and continued for over one month. Heat from the eruption caused the glacier covering Eyjafjallajökull to melt and the resulting flood water damaged roads. Ash from the eruption rose high into the atmosphere and grounded aircraft, impacting on the European economy.
