Incoming solar radiation is almost double at the equator then at the poles, causing the water closer to the equator to be warmer. The heat difference also causes the oceans to swirl so the water that is around the equator will eventually end up at the poles and keep circulating around.

Iceland is located between the Eurasian and North American
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

volcanoes

Explanation:

As the plates moved apart, excessive eruptions of lava constructed volcanoes and filled rift valleys. Subsequent movement rifted these later lava fields, causing long, linear valleys bounded by parallel faults. The divergence of the ridge started in the north about 150 million years ago and 90 million years ago in the south. These movements continue today, accompanied by earthquakes, reactivation of old volcanoes, and creation of new ones. I hope this helps!!
