What boundary is the cause of hot springs and fracture zones?
Hot springs and fractures are also common along divergent boundaries.
What do these things have in common Paleomagnetism seafloor spreading Pangaea Benioff zones transform faults fracture zones seamount chains Pacific hotspots?
earthquake
What geological feature does subduction zones cause?
Subductions zones result in the formation of a trench and also volcanoes on the overriding plate
How is the animal and plant species vary based on different ocean zones?

What is a fracture of earths crust?
A fault is a crack or fracture in the earth's crust. In geology, a fault or fault line is a planar fracture in rock in which the rock on one side of the fracture has moved with respect to the rock on the other side. Large faults within the Earth's crust are the result of differential or shear motion and active fault zones are the causal locations of most earthquakes. Earthquakes are caused by energy release during rapid slippage along a fault. A fault that runs along the boundary between two tectonic plates is called a transform fault.
What boundary is the cause of hot springs and fracture zones?
Hot springs and fractures are also common along divergent boundaries.
Cause of hot springs and fracture zones?
Hot springs are the product of geothermally heated water that breaks through the surface. Fracture zones are caused by movement of a nearby transform boundary. The uppermost part of the basaltic, oceanic crust tends to be very brittle; therefore, the crust will break in various spots as means of 'instantaneous stress relief'.
What is the only feature of transform boundary?
Fracture Zones
What type of phenomena occur along fracture zones?
i have no idea why are you asking me
What kind of fault is represented by the eltanin and romanche fracture zones?
A Transform Fault.
Segments of mid-ocean ridges are offset relative to each other by?
fracture zones
How did buffer zones cause conflict in WWII?
The buffer zone caused conflict in War World 2 because not keeping control of Europe. This caused a huge conflict.

earthquake
How does the earthquake data confirm that the fracture zones are Transform faults as opposed to transcurrent faults?
I'm in your NATS class.
What geological feature does subduction zones cause?
Subductions zones result in the formation of a trench and also volcanoes on the overriding plate
WHAT IS THE NUMBER ONE CAUSE OF ACCIDENTS IN WORK ZONES?
Speeding.
Why do earthquakes often happen near volcanic regions?
both are caused by subduction zones
