Yes, the Mid-Atlantic Ridge it set on a divergent boundary. There was a magnitude 6.8 earthquake along a transform fault connecting parts of the Mid Atlantic Ridge sometime in 2018 i believe. The Mid Atlantic Ridge is also an extensional plate boundary called an oceanic spreading ridge.

Yes,because I remember my science teacher talking about it. And,there’s maybe a tectonic plate that lays there. So,yes.
