Earthquakes are actually very rare in the Atlantic Ocean as the only subduction zones in the Atlantic basin are along the eastern edge of the Caribbean Plate and the eastern edge of the Scotia Plate. Since these subduction zones are small, they are not exceptionally active and that accounts for the low incidence of earthquakes.
Hope this helps.
scientists believe that the volcano and earthquakes activity in this area are due to the formation of new part of the Earth's crust along the ridge
Earthquakes in Japan are caused by the movement of tectonic plates. A tsunami is a large ocean wave that is caused by sudden motion on the ocean floor which can be triggered by earthquakes.
The Atlantic is a relatively young ocean. The late movements are pushing both the sea-floor and the continents at either side of the ocean apart as 'one piece'. The destructive plate loss to accommodate this expansion is therefore occurring on the other side of these continents. As the movement is in 'one piece' there is no deformation or subduction happening that will cause earthquakes or volcanoes. There is however one small area of exception and that is the Caribbean ark which is a destructive margin. This stretch has both volcanoes and earthquakes.
there are only 2 oceans SURROUNDING Africa. They are the Indian ocean and the Atlantic ocean.
The Atlantic Ocean coast runs from Savannah to the boarder with Florida.

There are no oceans in the middle of Iceland. It is surrounded by the Atlantic and Arctic Oceans
The kind of fish that live in the Atlantic Ocean... :))))
The ocean that the middle passage crossed was the atlantic ocean

The Atlantic is an ocean and as such it does not have a government.
yes because the Atlantic coat runs into the ocean which causes them to be the same
Tsunamis occur after an earthquake. Earthquakes that occur in the middle of the ocean can force a tsunami to make landfall.
Atlantic Ocean
yes it is because the Atlantic coast goes into the Atlantic ocean which causes it to be the same
