Thanks! Tectonic plates are continuously moving apart, at a speed of 2.5 cm per year, as I remember. This has led to frequent lava eruptions, and Iceland is the way it is.
I was wondering if eventually it will pull the island apart?

Let's hope not! If anything, I'm sure we won't see it,...unless they invent a magic pill for eternal life 😉
Definitely it wouldn't be in our lifetime. But it did pull continents apart in the past...
