There is only one mid-ocean ridge in each ocean.
Mid-Ocean Ridges
The Mid-Ocean ridges were first discovered in the 1950's
There are several mid-ocean ridges around the world, with the most well-known being the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, East Pacific Rise, and the Indian Ocean Ridge. These ridges are underwater mountain ranges where tectonic plates are moving apart, creating new ocean crust.
go to google and type mid ocean ridge, and there will be pictures of oceans with ridges!

Yes. Mid Ocean Ridges create new oceanic crust.
No, mid-ocean ridges are not located mostly along coastlines. Mid-ocean ridges are underwater mountain ranges that form where tectonic plates are pulling apart. They are located in the middle of the ocean and can extend for thousands of kilometers.
The youngest rocks on the ocean floor are located at mid-ocean ridges. These ridges are always found at divergent boundaries.
