The Hawaiin Islands
destructive plate boundary
Constructive or divergent. The ridge formed is of basaltic rock type (though this is a generalisation), and is a source of volcanic activity. Iceland was formed as a result of the sea-floor spreading.
Divergent Boundary, (Constructive Boundary).
The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is formed where the Eurasian Plate and the North American Plate are diverging, creating a boundary known as a divergent plate boundary. As the plates move apart, magma rises from the mantle to fill the gap, creating new oceanic crust.
I believe this is Iceland, however it is not necessarily a hotspot as such, as notable hotspots do not occur on plate boundaries. An example of a hotspot is under Hawaii and neighbouring islands.

Divergent boundary is formed
The mid-Atlantic ridge is a divergent boundary where tectonic plates are moving apart. It is an example of a constructive plate boundary where new oceanic crust is formed through volcanic activity. This process leads to the continuous separation of the North American and Eurasian plates on one side and the South American and African plates on the other side.
