Help with geography homework ? Simple stuff! ?

Well , I’m in second year ( 13 ) and I have to do a PowerPoint on volcanoes.
We have to include information like
When did it explode
Benefits good + bad
Plate boundaries
How a volcano is made
How plate boundaries work
Maps
Diagram
Background information
Rescue + recovery
Conclusion
And facts about the volcano
I have chosen to do the Icelandic volcano
Eyjafjallajokul if that’s how you spell it
If you know any information about any of the things I have listed please help !
I would really appreciate it !
Thanks

Eyjafjallajökull erupted last spring. It lies on a constructive plate boundry, where magma is rising up from the mantle and forming new crust. It also lies on the iceland hotspot. The effects were mostly negative, particularly causing air disruption due to the risks of flying through volcanic ash. Eyjafjallajökull is a stratovolcano, with layers of lava and ash. It is covered by a glacier, and volcanic melting causes floods. While there is little direct benefit from a particular eruption, volcanism is important for creating new fertile soil and maintaining CO2 in the atmosphere (without some greenhouse effect the earth would freeze solid)

Excerpt: Rockall – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The origin of the name ‘Rockall’ is debatable but it has been suggested that it derives from the Gaelic ‘Sgeir Rocail’, meaning “skerry (or “sea rock”) of roaring”, although rocail can also be translated as “tearing” or “ripping”. There may also be an etymological link with the Old Norse ‘hrukka’. The first literary reference to the island, where it is called ‘Rokol’, is found in Martin Martin’s A Description of the Western isles of Scotland published in 1703. In the book the author gives an account of a voyage to St Kilda and its proximity to Rockall: “… and from it lies Rokol, a small rock sixty leagues to the westward of St. Kilda; the inhabitants of this place call it ‘Rokabarra’.” Dutch mapmakers P. Plancius and C. Claesz show an island ‘Rookol’ northwest of Ireland in the their Map of New France and the Northern Atlantic Ocean (Amsterdam, c. 1594.) The name ‘Rocabarraigh’ is also used in Gaelic folklore for a mythical rock which is supposed to appear three times, the last being at the end of the world: “Nuair a thig Rocabarra ris, is dual gun tèid an Saoghal a sgrios."When Rocabarra returns, the world will likely come to be destroyed.” It has most recently been suggested that the name is really Old Norse, and derives from the word *rok (as in Icelandic rok), meaning ‘foaming sea’, and kollR, meaning ‘bald head’, a word which appears in other local names in Scandinavian-speaking areas . The Gaelic name would then be derivable from the Norse form. The islet of Rockall makes up the eroded core of an extinct volcano (a volcanic plug), and is one of the few pinnacles of the surrounding Helens Reef. It is located 301.4 kilometres (187.3 mi), or 162.7 nmi, west of the islands of St. Kilda, Scotland,… More:
