The trench has been formed by the actions of the Romanche Fracture Zone, a portion of which is an active transform boundary offsetting sections of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. [ 1 ] It was named after the French navy ship La Romanche , commanded by captain Louis-Ferdinand Martial which on 11 October 1883 made soundings that revealed the trench.

Some fracture zones such as Chile and Valdivia make up large sections of the Nazca-Antarctic plate boundary. Map of the Chile Rise and its fracture zones in Nazca and the Antarctic plates Active Pacific Ocean fracture zones are perpendicular to the mid-ocean ridges (black lines) in orange shaded region.

Bone healing, or fracture healing, is a proliferative physiological process in which the body facilitates the repair of a bone fracture. Generally, bone fracture treatment consists of a doctor reducing (pushing) displaced bones back into place via relocation with or without anaesthetic, stabilizing their position to aid union, and then waiting ...
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 cohesive zone model (CZM) is a model in fracture mechanics where fracture formation is regarded as a gradual phenomenon and separation of the crack surfaces takes place across an extended crack tip, or cohesive zone, and is resisted by cohesive tractions.
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.
