What is a fracture zone in term of continental drift theory?
A fracture zone is a group of "cracks" in the ocean floor that cut across a rift. For example, if you look at a picture of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, you'll see that there are hundreds of smaller fractures in the earth's crust that cut across the ridge. There's a great picture of the Mid-Atlantic Fracture Zone at the link below.
