Where is the world's midpoint located?
This depends on which midpoint is being referenced. The world's vertical midpoint is the equator which cuts the sphere of the earth in half. The world's horizontal midpoint doesn't exist since the world is a ball, however, if you look at the earth from the top the horizontal midpoint is right at the north pole. Therefore the earth's three-dimensional midpoint would be in its core. But in terms of geographic locations, the regions on the earth's horizontal midpoint are the north and south pole, while the following countries are on the earth's equator (vertical midpoint):Africa:GabonCongoDemocratic Republic of the CongoUgandaKenyaSomaliaS. America:EcuadorColumbiaBrazilIndonesia
Can volcanoes occur on land and under the sea?
...Ever hear of Hawaii? -different person now- There aren't just lava volcanoes underwater but there are hydrothermal vents, which instead of lava, spew gas, water, and heat. They are basically underwater volcanoes. Go look at pictures of them, they're really weird. There are a very large number of underwater volcanoes at the Mid-Ocean-Ridges deep below the ocean's surface. These erupt lava directly into the ocean where it cools extremely rapidly forming pillow basalts.
How many volcanoes are in the ocean?
There are actually around 750 in each ocean, but even more of volcanoes in the Pacific ocean, which is known as the biggest ocean.
What happens at a ocean ocean convergent boundary?
At an ocean ocean convergent boundary, there will be a formation of volcanoes.
What is the largest ocaen in the world?
The biggest ocean in the world is the Pacific Ocean. It covers almost 33% of the Earth's surface at 169 million square kilometers. The Pacific Ocean stretches from the North Pole to the South Pole and is the giant stretch of water separating the west coast of North America from Japan. The Hawaiian Islands float in the middle of this massive ocean. I got this info here: http://www.wereyouwondering.com/what-is-the-biggest-ocean-in-the-world/ Read more about it! ^

What ocean has volcanoes on its floor?
Pacific Ocean
Which ocean has a ring of volcanoes on the land surrounding it?
The Pacific Ocean has a ring of volcanoes known as the Ring of Fire. This area is located in the Pacific Ocean basin and is characterized by frequent earthquakes and volcanic activity due to plate tectonics.

How do volcanoes affect the ocean floor?
Volcanoes affect the ocean floor by adding sediment to the ocean basin (bottom of the ocean.) Hope I helped!

What types of volcanoes form at mid-ocean ridges?
Rift volcanoes.
What is deeper ocean trench or ocean volcanoes?
well, its the ocean trench. a trench is like a giant ditch and it basically sinks in. while the ocean volcanoes converge and push up.
What ocean does the sierra Nevada stretch along?
