Q. Sundhnukagigar volcano, recently seen in the news, is located in which country?
Answer:
Iceland
Notes: The Sundhnukagigar Volcano in southwestern Iceland erupted for the fifth time since December 2023. Iceland, known as the Land of Fire and Ice, sits on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, where Eurasian and North American plates diverge, making it volcanically active. Hotspots, like the Reunion hotspot, and divergent plate margins, such as the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, contribute to volcanic activity. Volcanoes, vents in the Earth's crust, release gases like water vapor, carbon dioxide, and sulfur dioxide upon eruption.
