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 is a region called the Pacific Ring of Fire, which bounds the entire Pacific Ocean with active convergent tectonic plates that has most of the world's earthquakes and volcanoes.It has 452 volcanoes and it is home to 75% of the world's dormant and active volcanoes.
Volcanoes tend to form at convergent tectonic plate boundaries where subduction is occurring (such as the western coast of South America) and at divergent plate boundaries where two tectonic plates are moving apart (e.g. the Mid-Atlantic-Ridge and Iceland). Earthquakes also occur at convergent boundaries and in fact these tend to cause the strongest earthquakes. Earthquakes also occur at transform boundaries (such as the San Andreas fault) however these do not tend to cause the formation of volcanoes. So to find volcanoes and large earthquakes you should be looking at convergent plate boundaries where subduction is occurring.
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 and volcanoes often occur along the boundaries of tectonic plates. These boundaries are known as plate boundaries or fault lines. The most active areas for earthquakes and volcanoes are the Ring of Fire around the Pacific Plate and the Mid-Atlantic Ridge where new oceanic crust is formed.

Yes, parts of Europe have Atlantic coastlines, such as Great Britain and Spain.
The distribution of volcanoes is worldwide, although they are usually perceived to only occur on Plate Boundaries (PBs). However this is not always the case. Sometimes they can occur on faults or ancient faults like Mount Etna, which is still active because the fault line it used to lie on still provides it with magma. Volcanoes can also be present at hotspots, for example, the volcanic Hawaiian Islands. However the largest and most lethal volcanoes are primarily on PBs, sometimes concentrated in a certain area, like the "Ring of fire" on the borders between the Pacific plate and the surrounding plates. These volcanoes are often due to spreading ridges, causing gaps through which magma flows up. Volcanoes in this area usually follow earthquakes, which are even more frequent there than on faults.

Pacific, Atlantic, and Artic oceans
The coastlines are the longest of any country in the world. Canada has coastlines on three oceans: Atlantic, Pacific and Arctic.
Greenland has coastlines on both the North Atlantic and Arctic oceans.

The Pacific Ring Of Fire (look it up on google) is located in the Pacific ocean. It is due to have very active volcanoes and earthquakes. The pacific ocean means "Peaceful sea" but the Pacific is way more active than the Atlantic! The Atlantic is only due to one volcano that can reach the United States which is Cumbre Vieja (look it up on google) that is located in the Canary Islands northwest of Africa. But remember - tsunamis can happen in the Atlantic too, because of volcanic eruptions and landslides and underwater earthquakes (remember the Haiti earthquake). Though since the pacific ring of fire has more volcanoes and earthquakes, they get many more tsunamis than Atlantic. Hope this helps, and look for "Pacific Ring of fire" and "Cumbre Vieja" on google! :)
