The Charlie-Gibbs Fracture Zone is a significant transform fault located in the North Atlantic Ocean. It serves as a boundary between the North American Plate and the Eurasian Plate. This geological feature is characterized by its linear extent and the distinctive horizontal motion of tectonic plates on either side. The fracture zone is named after two nearby shipping routes: the Charlie and Gibbs routes.
