The Clipperton Fracture Zone is a significant geological feature located in the eastern Pacific Ocean. It is classified as a transform fault, which means it is a type of fault boundary where two tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally. The Clipperton Fracture Zone runs roughly in a northwest-southeast direction and is characterized by a series of transform faults that are associated with the movement of the Pacific Plate relative to the North American Plate and other surrounding tectonic structures.
