No, most of the volcanoes along the mid-ocean ridge do not rise above the ocean's surface. These submarine volcanoes are typically under the water and form part of the continuous volcanic activity that occurs along the ocean ridges. Only a few volcanoes along the mid-ocean ridge, such as Iceland, rise above the ocean's surface.
The mantle's convection currents move in the mantle in the form of magma which creates the mid-ocean ridge. Mid-ocean ridges are found in every ocean in the world and when the currents erupt as lava the eventually cool and create a crust.
The Mid-Atlantic Ridge comes up above the surface of the water to form the island Iceland.
Underwater eruptions cause tsunamis and cause lava to form and underwater ridge.
A mid ocean ridge is a diverging plate boundary so the simple answer is yes.
New material forms on the ocean floor of the mid-ocean ridge due to plate tectonics and volcanic activity. Volcanic eruptions deposit cooled magma on the ocean floor.

It forms when the 2 plates converge or come apart

It spreads away form the ridges
