Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Icelandic-type eruptions can occur in other places besides Iceland, although they are named after Iceland because the country experiences a high frequency of this type of eruption. These eruptions are characterized by the eruption of basaltic lava that flows in a gentle manner, often creating shield volcanoes. Other examples of Icelandic-type eruptions can be found in Hawaii, the Galapagos Islands, and the East African Rift.
