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.
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.
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.
Because the Earth is 3/4 water. So we might expect that 3/4 of the solar eclipses will occur on water.
Lunar eclipses occur precisely at the full moon.

Eclipses occur when two objects line up in front of a light source in such a way that one is in the shadow of another.
Yes
There are two main types of eclipses: solar and lunar. Lunar eclipses occur every 6 months. Solar eclipses occur 2-5 times per year. Eclipses can be partial or total. Partial eclipse covers only part of the sun or moon, while total covers the full entity.
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.
Every year
