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?

How many volcanoes are in the ocean?

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


Do most of the volcanoes of the mid-ocean ridge rise above the oceans surface?

No, most of the volcanoes along the mid-ocean ridge do not rise above the ocean's surface. These submarine volcanoes are typically under the water and form part of the continuous volcanic activity that occurs along the ocean ridges. Only a few volcanoes along the mid-ocean ridge, such as Iceland, rise above the ocean's surface.

Does north Korea have any natural hazards such as volcanoes hurricanes tornadoes and flooding?

Yes. North Korea has had to deal with threats from flooding, volcanoes, and typhoons (a hurricane in the western Pacific Ocean), including one particularly dangerous volcano. A few tornadoes have probably occurred there as well.
