The example that shows the effects of tension in the Earth’s plates is the mid-Atlantic Ridge splitting Iceland. Tension in tectonic plates often leads to the formation of rift valleys or mid-ocean ridges, where plates are moving apart. The mid-Atlantic Ridge is a divergent boundary where the Eurasian and North American plates are pulling away from each other, which is exemplified by the splitting of Iceland.
