The fracture zones that offset portions of mid-ocean ridges are examples of what type of boundary?
These are transcurrent faults, usually at 90o to the main Mid-Ocean Ridge (MOR). One wall is commonly higher than the other in a systemic fashion.
It may be that the great Alpine Fault in New Zealand, about 500 km long, is a transcurrent fault of the Pacific MOR, much displaced.

What is the portion of the land mass that extends into the ocean is called?
The portion of the land mass that extends into the ocean is called a "coastline." It is the boundary where the land meets the sea, and it can vary in length and shape due to factors like erosion and tectonic activity.
What type of fault occurs when one or both portions of rock move in horizontal direction?
This is a strike-slip fault.
What type of plate boundary is associated with the mid Atlantic ridge?
The Mid-Atlantic Ridge (MAR) is a mid-ocean ridge, a divergent tectonic plate boundary located along the floor of the Atlantic Ocean, and part of thelongest mountain range in the world. It separates the Eurasian Plate and North American Plate in the North Atlantic, and the African Plate from the South American Plate in the South Atlantic. The Ridge extends from a junction with the Gakkel Ridge (Mid-Arctic Ridge) northeast of Greenland southward to theBouvet Triple Junction in the South Atlantic. Although the Mid-Atlantic Ridge is mostly an underwater feature, portions of it have enough elevation to extend above sea level. The section of the ridge which includes the island of Iceland is also known as the Reykjanes Ridge. The average spreading rate for the ridge is about 2.5 cm per year.[1]en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mid-Atlantic_Ridge
The theory that implies that large portions of the earth's crust move is called?
The theory that implies that large portions of the earth's crust move is called the Theory of Tectonic Plates. According to this theory, the earth's crust is split up into portions called tectonic plates and they move. When tectonic plates rub against each other, earthquakes occur.
Which layer inside the earth includes the upper most portions of the mantel and the crust?
The lithosphere includes the uppermost part of the mantle and it also includes all of the crust.
Can a compression fracture cause vagus nerve damage?
No. The left and right vagus nerves are located in the lateral portions of the neck, and run from superior (top) to inferior (bottom), proximal (close to) to the carotid arteries, and down into the thoracic cavity. A compression fracture usually will not affect the vagus nerve.
What are examples of unit rates in a daily basis?
"Daily" is a unit rate! You should eat 5 portions of fruit and veg daily or 5 portions per one day: a unit rate.
How does two portions of newly formed crust move between parts of a ridge that are offset by a transform boundary?
At a transform boundary, two portions of newly formed crust move laterally past each other due to the motion of tectonic plates. As magma rises at the mid-ocean ridge, it creates new oceanic crust, which then becomes offset by the transform fault. This lateral movement allows the sections of crust on either side of the transform boundary to shift in opposite directions, maintaining the overall process of seafloor spreading while accommodating the differences in plate movement. The transform boundary effectively acts as a conduit for the movement of crustal material between the segments of the ridge.
Who are Gabon's military enemies?
Gabon follows a non-aligned foreign policy. It recognizes both portions of divided countries. However, Gabon itself is involved in a maritime boundary dispute with Equatorial Guinea.
What stresses the South American plate and the African Plate?
Far-field stresses triggered by portions of the northern boundary stress the African plate. Intraplate stresses are the driving forces in the South American plate
What type of plate boundary exists between the North American and Pacific Plate near Mexico?
For the portion in the United States it is a transform boundaries, while in the Gulf of California it forms a series of transform and divergent portions.
What two rivers partially form our states eastern boundary?
The two rivers that partially form the eastern boundary of many U.S. states are the Mississippi River and the Ohio River. The Mississippi River flows southward, serving as a natural border for several states, while the Ohio River acts as a boundary primarily between Ohio and West Virginia, as well as Kentucky and Indiana. Together, they define significant portions of the eastern limits of various states in the region.
Which sea borders Israel?
The Mediterranean and the Red Sea border Israel
Which is better Counting Calories or Counting Portions?
Counting calories and watching portions.
What was rationed WW2?
eating small portions of food and saving portions for what food you did have
How many portions of mash potatoes in a 2 hotel pan?
40 portions
What is a protein on a cytoplasmic structure?
There are thousands of examples. For one, when two portions of the Cell membrane are brought together to form a 'budding vesicle', many [different] proteins act together to perform this function.
