There are also other areas of intense volcanism under the Atlantic Ocean. This is referred to as the Mid-Atlantic Rift, and is an area that is being rifted apart. Two plates are moving in opposite direction, and the Earth "heals" the wound by the lava of the volcanoes.

The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is a mid-ocean ridge, a divergent tectonic plate or constructive plate boundary located along the floor of the Atlantic Ocean, and part of the longest mountain range in the world
