Prince Edward Fracture Zone

The Prince Edward Fracture Zone is a geological feature located in the Southern Indian Ocean, associated with the tectonic boundary between the Nazca Plate and the African Plate. This fracture zone is characterized by a series of linear features, including faults and ridges, that result from the movement and interaction of these tectonic plates. The zone connects the mid-ocean ridges and is often associated with volcanic activity and seismic events.
