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'.
Fracture Zones
The 3 types of plate boundaries that occur is the spreading boundary, fracture boundary, and the colliding boundary.

Hot springs and fractures are also common along divergent boundaries.

a fracture in which skin is intact at site of fracture is a closed fracture or simple fracture whereas compound fracture or an open fracture is a fracture in which the skin is perforated and there is an open wound down to the site of the fracture.
A broken bone is often called a "fracture" or "bone fracture". Some examples from the Wikipedia entry on bone fracture. * Complete Fracture- A fracture in which bone fragments separate completely. * Incomplete Fracture- A fracture in which the bone fragments are still partially joined. * Linear Fracture- A fracture that is parallel to the bone's long axis. * Transverse Fracture- A fracture that is at a right angle to the bone's long axis. * Oblique Fracture- A fracture that is diagonal to a bone's long axis. * Compression Fracture-A fracture that usually occurs in the vertebrae. * Spiral Fracture- A fracture where at least one part of the bone has been twisted. * Comminuted Fracture- A fracture causing many fragments. * Compacted Fracture- A fracture caused when bone fragments are driven into each other * Open Fracture- A fracture when the bone reaches the skin * Bug fracture- A fracture when the bone is in place, but the fracture has the appearance of a crushed insect.
Is fracture of the femur the same as fracture of the hip? Yes
