Midocean ridges are areas where continents broke apart. Midocean ridges are closest to the landmasses in younger oceans. One example where a midocean ridge intersected a landmass is the Arabian sea, which was formed by the pulling apart of the Arabian Peninsula and Africa.
One of the midocean ridges is, but others are in other oceans, seas, and bays.
A spreading ridge, where two plates diverge.

The midocean ridges are the spreading centers where the plates are moving apart. The seamounts are extinct volcanos produced as the plate passed over a mantle hotspot.

it is known as sea floor spreading. this is when the oceanic plates diverge or move apart which causes the magma from the mantle to rise forming new sea floor.

No, it is actually one of the slowest spreading ridge on Earth. The slowest ridge is the Southwest Indian ridge, while the East Pacific Rise is the fastest.
