Talk:Fracture zone

This article was the subject of an educational assignment in Spring 2015. Further details were available on the "Education Program:University of North Alabama/480 Geotectonics (Spring 2015)" page, which is now unavailable on the wiki.

Looks really good so far man. The only thing that's strikes my attention is the fact that your second illustration is a more informative version of the first illustration. Would it be possible to make an illustration depicting the different methods of measuring relative spreading, such as showing magnetic striping offsets or having offset gradients to show relative seafloor age?Mcooper3 (talk) 03:41, 5 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the suggestion, I changed the main picture of the article to an example of a fracture zone. Jkidd93 (talk) 05:49, 28 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I think you did a good job. Enough information to introduce your article, and contain some nice pictures. The page looks perfect to me, and I can't find any suggestion or recommendation so far.Tomoyuki6 (talk) 07:57, 6 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Very well done. I honestly do not see anything to improve on thus far. I do agree with Matt that the second picture is just a more detailed version of the first and perhaps it would be more useful to have an illustration depicting a different method of measuring. Other than that, though, fantastic job so far. :) NealeyS (talk) 15:12, 6 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

What type of MOR do these usually happen at? why? how can we use fracture zone in interpreting plate tectonics? Mmdriskell (talk) 18:17, 13 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The information is good, but maybe you could add something about the discovery on these fracture zones. How long have scientists know about these zones?Mhunter2 (talk) 12:28, 23 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Menard, 1953 and here are starting places. Announcement of his death in the NYT touches on his initial contact with the features. Palmeira (talk) 04:17, 25 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I added some brief information on examples of fracture zones. Jkidd93 (talk) 05:49, 28 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Edits[edit]

Mhunter2 has a good suggestion for the page. Also the transform fault figure is still wrong. the arrows on the fault (blue) is backwards. Mmdriskell (talk) 15:50, 5 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
