The Vema Fracture Zone is a significant geological feature located in the southern Atlantic Ocean. It is a transform fault that runs roughly parallel to the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, extending from southeastern South America towards the southern African continental shelf. The fracture zone is characterized by its complex system of faults and sedimentary basins, which are formed as tectonic plates interact.
