because water covers 71% of the world it only makes sense that since water covers the larger majority land mass that there would be more chance for mountains there also mountains are often caused by earth quakes when two or more tectonic plates run into each other and most earth quakes and volcanic activity which can lead to earthquakes take place in the ocean.

What is the Difference between oceans and land absorb the Sun's energy?

Oceans absorb and store more heat from the Sun due to their higher heat capacity and depth, resulting in slower temperature changes compared to land. Land absorbs solar energy more quickly, leading to faster heating and cooling cycles. Additionally, oceans have a higher albedo (reflectivity) compared to land, which affects the amount of solar energy absorbed.
