What is the difference between a fracture zone and transform fault? a transform fault is a crack, but a fracture zone is a hole in the crust a transform fault is perpendicular to the mid-ocean ridge, but a fracture zone is not. they are two names for the same feature, a break in the plate formed by a slip at a transform plate boundary a transform fault has strike-slip motion in reverse of the direction that the plates move apart at the mid-ocean ridge, but a fracture zone has the opposite sense of motion. a transform has an active fault, separating two plates, whereas a fracture zone is just the “scar” formed on one plate by the transform fault

The study area for this unit is the boundary between the pacific and north american plates, in california. this is a transform plate boundary, with the two plates sliding past each other. along this boundary, there is no active volcanism but there are many faults and frequent earthquakes. in most maps of tectonic plates, this plate boundary is drawn along the san andreas fault, which stretches 1300 km (800 miles) across western california. review the map below and consider the distribution of earthquakes along this plate boundary. is tectonic activity only present along the san andreas fault? how well is this boundary characterized by the single line of the san andreas fault? explain your answer using information from the map.
