Sovanco Fracture Zone
ID: sovanco-fracture-zone
The Sovanco Fracture Zone is a significant geological feature located in the Atlantic Ocean, primarily situated to the southeast of the Azores archipelago. It is characterized by a series of fracture and transform faults that mark the boundary where tectonic plates move past one another horizontally. Fracture zones like the Sovanco Fracture Zone typically form as a result of the divergence of tectonic plates, which creates stress and leads to the formation of faults.
