What Mendocino Molokai and Galapagos are names of fracture zones in the floor of which of the earths four oceans?
Mendocino, Molokai, and Galapagos are names of fracture zones located in the floor of the Pacific Ocean. These fracture zones are significant geological features that result from tectonic plate movements. They are associated with various geological activities, including earthquakes and volcanic activity.

What are earthquakes tsunamis and volcano caused by?
They are all caused by the Earths The Earths Tectonic PLates. e.g When there is a crack or fracture in a tectonic plate the pressure slowley builds up until it if released. This can cause tsunamis if the plate is underwater or an earthquake if it is not.
What is the difference between a crack in the earths crust and a fault?
A crack in the Earth's crust is a fracture where rocks have pulled apart, whereas a fault is a fracture where there has been movement along the fracture plane. In other words, a fault is a type of crack in the Earth's crust that has undergone displacement.
A zone of weakness or a break in earths crust is known as?
This is known as a fault. A fault is a fracture in the Earth's crust along which movement has occurred. Movement along faults can result in earthquakes.
A break in the earths crust?
A break in the Earth's crust is called a fault. It is a fracture where the two sides of the rock move in relation to each other. Faults are a common feature in tectonically active regions where there is movement of the Earth's plates.
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 is the social studies term for fault?
In social studies, the term "fault" can refer to a break or fracture in the Earth's crust where rocks have slipped past each other. It is commonly associated with earthquakes and tectonic plate movements.
