  1. Iceland's Geology and its Effects Emma McCune

  2. What Could Cause This?

  3. There is convection occurring in the mantle which causes the crust it is supporting to move also Plate Tectonic Theory

  4. Divergent Plate Boundary Iceland North American Plate Magma Eurasian Plate

  5. Mid Atlantic Ridge

  6. Hot Spots

  7. Mud pot • Mud pots are caused by hydrogen sulfide dissolved in water which is heated by magma below and close to the surface. • This turns the water into sulfuric acid which dissolves mud into the water. • There is also continuously hydrogen sulfide bubbling up causing the mud to bubble.
