Fifteen-Twenty Fracture Zone

The Fifteen-Twenty Fracture Zone is a significant geological feature located in the Atlantic Ocean. It is an oceanic fracture zone that runs approximately along the 15° to 20° North latitude. This zone is characterized by a series of transform faults and associated features that occur at the boundary between tectonic plates. Fracture zones are typically formed as a result of tectonic processes and are associated with the movement of the Earth's lithospheric plates.
