the reason why volcanoes occur on land than is because more activities occur on land than in water.such activities are farming, digging, stone breaking and all this releases pressure on the land making the internal part of the earth to take this pressure and lather release it back to the earth surface

How do active volcanoes located on islands create more land area on these islands?
Lava from volcanoes cools and hardens, forming more land.
How can volcanoes createe more volcanoes?
No.Because it only creats new land just lik hawii
What type of plate boundary to volcanoes not occur?
Ocean to ocean convergent plate boundaries do not have a chain of composite cone volcanoes. The ocean plate that is more dense will sink beneath the other ocean plate.
What Are Changes That Occur In Nature?
tsunamis,earthquakes,volcanoes,hurricanes and much more
What are the damages caused by a under water volcanoes?
All volcanoes have some dangers, of course. Some underwater volcanoes can lead to tsunamis or other forms of water disasters. Land volcanoes spit ouot hot ash and lava and molten rock, and smoke as well, so much so that you could be burned alive by boiling hot ash, choked to death by smoke or gas or burned by lava, or even crushed by falling rock.
Are there more mountains in land or in water?
There are more mountains in the water (including volcanoes) than on land.
Are there volcanoes under the sea?
There are more under water than on land.
Where do volcanoes occur on earth?
Volcanoes occur along tectonic borders. More specifically, a border between an oceanic plate, and a land plate. Oceanic plates are more dense than land plates, which causes them to sink beneath land plates. Along these borders, magma can seep up to above the plates, cool, and form a volcano. This is what caused the "Ring of Fire," a ring of volcanoes surrounding the Pacific Ocean.
Does more evaporation occur from the oceans or from the land?
More evaporation happens from oceans because it has more water

What are advantages and disadvantages of volcanoes?
Volcanoes can create more land but can kill plants and animals while flowing lava.
When does volcanoes occur more often?
Volcanoes occur at divergent and convergent plate boundaries due to the fact that crust is either being destroyed or created. Volcanoes also occur at hotspots, for example in Hawaii. Hotspots occur where the crust is particularly thin or weak, and plumes of magma rising from the asthenosphere (between upper mantle and the crust) end up giving rise to volcanoes or volcanic islands.

Do most earthquakes occur under the ocean floor or on land?
More Earthquakes occur on land.
