The Antipodes Fracture Zone is a significant geological feature located in the southern Pacific Ocean. It is an example of a transform fault, which is a type of fault characterized by the lateral sliding of tectonic plates against each other. This particular fracture zone marks the boundary between the Pacific Plate and the Indo-Australian Plate. The Antipodes Fracture Zone stretches for several hundred kilometers and plays a role in the tectonic activity of the region.
