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
What happens at a ocean ocean convergent boundary?
At an ocean ocean convergent boundary, there will be a formation of volcanoes.

There are approximately 1,500 active volcanoes in the world, and around 90% of them are located in the oceans. The majority of these underwater volcanoes are found along tectonic plate boundaries in regions known as the Ring of Fire and the Mid-Ocean Ridge.
Where are volcanoes most often formed?
in the ocean
Where do volcanoes occur the most?
