= Hunter Fracture Zone
{wiki=Hunter_Fracture_Zone}
The Hunter Fracture Zone is a significant geological feature found in the oceanic crust. It is classified as a fracture zone, which is typically characterized by a series of faults occurring in the ocean floor that are the result of tectonic activity. Fracture zones are often associated with transform faults, where tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally. The Hunter Fracture Zone is located in the southwestern Pacific Ocean, near the boundary between the Pacific Plate and other surrounding plates.
