Can mid-ocean ridges create islands?
Not unless there is an intersection with a hot-spot.
When a hot spot stays put but the plate above it keeps moving what happens?
It leaves an island arc or chain if the hot spot is in the ocean. A great example of this is the Hawaiian Island chain. There is another hot spot in the North American plate which now resides in Yellowstone National park. This hot spot simply leaves a chain of extinct volcanic areas as the continental plate moves over it.
