Title: What is the difference between a fracture zone and transform fault? Post by: Wutwut12 on Jan 23, 2018 What is the difference between a fracture zone and transform fault?
a) A transform fault is perpendicular to the mid-ocean ridge, but a fracture zone is not b) A transform fault is a crack in the crust, but a fracture zone is a hole in the crust that extends into the mantle c) A transform fault runs along a zone of weakness in the crust while a fracture zone runs along a zone of strong, erosion-resistant rock d) Transform faults run between offsets in a mid-ocean ridge while fracture zones extend beyond the offsets e) Transform faults are stationary while fracture zones have strike-slip motion Title: What is the difference between a fracture zone and transform fault?
