Select statements true of fracture zones. Choose one or more: A. Earthquakes can occur along fracture zones. B. Fracture zones a
re situated perpendicular to mid-ocean ridge segments. C. New crust is formed via seafloor spreading along fracture zones. D. Fracture zones can act as transform boundaries between two actively spreading ridge segments
B. Fracture zones are situated perpendicular to mid-ocean ridge segments
Explanation:
A fracture zone is a linear feature that is several kilometers long and can result from the action that offsets the mid-oceanic ridges segments and are a consequence of the plate tectonics. They act as transform faults and are found along these separating ridges.
If the rotation period slowed to 1 rotation every 365 days a condition called 'sun synchronous', every spot in the Earth would have permanent daytime or nighttime all year long.
