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. Since the map was prepared ages not shown ...
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 ...
Cities in Ohio are municipalities whose population is no less than 5,000; smaller municipalities are called villages. Nonresident college students and incarcerated inmates do not count towards the city requirement of 5,000 residents. [1] There are currently 253 cities and 673 villages in Ohio, for a total of 926 municipalities.

This list covers all faults and fault-systems that are either geologically important [clarification needed] or connected to prominent seismic activity. [clarification needed] It is not intended to list every notable fault, but only major fault zones. [clarification needed
Obduction zones occurs when the continental plate is pushed under the oceanic plate, but this is unusual as the relative densities of the tectonic plates favours subduction of the oceanic plate. This causes the oceanic plate to buckle and usually results in a new mid-ocean ridge forming and turning the obduction into subduction.
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 .
See also Line (geometry). A lineament is a linear feature in a landscape which is an expression of an underlying geological structure such as a fault.Typically a lineament will appear as a fault-aligned valley, a series of fault or fold-aligned hills, a straight coastline or indeed a combination of these features.
