Subduction of oceanic crust. The Earthquakes occur at depth in the descending slab.
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.

at mid ocean ridges
Sea floor spreading occurs at mid-ocean ridges.
mid ocean ridges form along, underwater mountain ranges that sometimes have a rift valley down their center( 6th grade answer)
Mid ocean ridges occure at divergent boundaries.
