Where do midocean ridges intersect the landmasses?
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.

Which two tectonic plates are separated by the midocean ridge?
The mid ocean ridge separates many plates, not just two. In the Atlantic Ocean it separates the Eurasian and African plates from the North American Plate and the African Plate from the South American Plate. In the Indian Ocean it separates the African Plate from the Antarctic, Australian, Indian Plates and the Australian Plate from the Antarctic Plate. In the Red Sea it separates the African Plate from the Arabian Plate. In the Pacific Ocean it separates the Pacific Plate from the Antarctic, Nazca, Cocos, and Juan de Fuca Plates and the Nazca Plate from the Cocos and Antarctic Plates.
What are the differences between ocean ridge and seamount?
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.
