constructive boundaries are associated with numerous shallow focused‚ low magnitude earthquakes‚ which due to their location pose only little hazard. Similarly‚ many of the volcanoes at such margins are submarine‚ but they do emerge in islands such as Iceland‚ forming volcanoes such as Heimaey and Surtsey. Volcanoes at constructive margins tend to erupt relatively gently as gases can easily escape from the basalt lava which is at extremely high temperatures and very free-flowing. The main hazards are therefrom
