Major fractures zones of the Atlantic can be seen on this ocean depth map Active Atlantic Ocean fracture zones are perpendicular to the mid-ocean ridges (black lines) in orange shaded region In the Atlantic Ocean most fracture zones originate from the Mid-Atlantic Ridge , which runs from north to south, and are therefore west to east oriented ...
A more definitive mapping of fracture zones, including many with no official name, or not meeting the criteria for inclusion on this map, based on the 2015 project of Wessel et al., [1] exists as of 2018. [2]. This page is used on multiple pages and has complex logic so any alteration should be checked as a minor typo can break display on ...

The Blanco fracture zone is a fracture zone running between the Juan de Fuca Ridge and the Gorda Ridge. The dominating feature of the fracture zone is the 150 km (93 mi) long Blanco Ridge, which is a high-angle, right-lateral strike slip fault with some component of dip-slip faulting .
Fracture zones represent the previously active transform-fault lines, which have since passed the active transform zone and are being pushed toward the continents. These elevated ridges on the ocean floor can be traced for hundreds of miles and in some cases even from one continent across an ocean to the other continent.
Since 2019, nearly 26,000 crashes have occurred in Ohio construction zones, resulting in more than 9,000 people injured and 99 deaths. Construction worker Steve Cook was an only child, but you ...
It was proposed that the fracture zone be renamed Gibbs fracture zone, as fracture zones are generally named for research vessels. The proposal was accepted only in part, and currently the official name is Charlie–Gibbs fracture zone. [8] Note that the double name refers to the two parallel fracture zones together.
