Making the world better, one answer at a time. Iceland is continually growing because of volcanic activity. As the lava erupts and runs into the sea, it cools and becomes solid land.
Iceland is the largest island on the ridge because of the additional volcanism caused by the hot spot under the country, which moves slowly towards the northwest across it. These unique circumstances on the ridge probably are the reason for the countryâs existence, because the tectonic movement of the plates and the related volcanism would not have sufficed. The country probably would have looked very differently if the hot spot were the sole reason for its creation, probably something similar to Hawaii.
