If the ocean floor is continuously spreading apart is the surface of the earth growing?
no, because as well as moving apart in other areas the plates are moving together, and being destroyed, so the surface of the earth always stay the same
Where is seafloor being created?
The mid-atlantic Ridge. There, two tectonic plates are pulling apart, and magma from the mantle rises to the space between these two plates. This magma is cooled instantly, becoming a new ocean floor.
Mid-ocean ridges are actually underwater mountain ranges.?
It is true that mid-ocean ridges are underwater mountain ranges. These ridges are where the lithosphere is moving apart and new oceanic crust is being formed.

What area has had the most volcanoes?
In general, any area in which the tectonic plates of the Earth are either colliding or being pulled apart are going to have volcanoes. Some examples would be the "Ring of Fire" around the Pacific ocean where the plates are colliding (Japan and Indonesia are current examples), and the Mid-Atlantic Trench, where the plates are pulling apart. The Icelandic volcanoes are part of this phenomenon. There are additional volcanic mountain ranges over "hot spots" in the Earth's mantle. The Hawaiian Islands are an example of a fixed plate moving across a "hot spot" in the mantle, and leaving a chain of volcanoes as the Pacific plate moves to the northwest.

How far apart are tectonic plates moving?
The tectonic plates move at about the same speed your finger nails grow. The gap the plates create when they move apart is constantly being closed up by magma moving up from the mantle.
