This tectonic activity manifests as frequent volcanic eruptions and geothermal activity. Geothermal energy (from hot springs, geysers, etc.) is a major source of heating and electricity in Iceland (Statement 1 is correct). Volcanic eruptions can lead to the creation of new landforms, including islands (like Surtsey) and lava fields (Statement 2 is correct). The dramatic volcanic and glacial landscapes resulting from this tectonic activity, such as geysers, hot springs, volcanoes, and unique rock formations, are major attractions for tourists worldwide (Statement 3 is correct).<br \/>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"pyq-additional-information\">\nIceland is often referred to as the &#8220;Land of Fire and Ice&#8221; due to the coexistence of glaciers and volcanoes, both products of its geological setting.
