The Blanco Fracture Zone is a significant geological feature located along the boundary between the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate, off the coast of Oregon, USA. It is classified as a transform fault, which means it is a type of fault where two tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally. The Blanco Fracture Zone is characterized by its notable geological activity, including earthquakes and seafloor spreading, contributing to the dynamic nature of the region's tectonic landscape.
