During the 100 years of the 20th Century, there were 228 solar eclipses and
229 lunar ones. In the short term, the rates of each kind varied between
1 and 5 in a single year, but, as you can see, the long-term average for the
Century was roughly 2.3 of each per year.

Why don't eclipses of the moon occur frequently?
There are generally two lunar eclipses per year. Sometimes the eclipses are only visible in other places on the Earth, and the "penumbral" eclipses generally aren't noticable.
What type of eclipse occurs with the greatest frequency?
Lunar eclipses occur more frequently than Solar eclipses. About 70 eclipses take place in regular cycles lasting 18 years and 8 or 9 days; usually 41 of these eclipses are solar and 29 are lunar.
Why do the paths of total eclipses fall more frequently on oceans than on land?
Because the Earth is 3/4 water. So we might expect that 3/4 of the solar eclipses will occur on water.

Do partial eclipses occur more than total eclipses?
yes they do
Do lunar eclipses occur?

Solar eclipses occur when the Moon is in the direct path between the Sun and Earth. Lunar eclipses occur when the Earth is in the direct path between the Sun and the Moon.
