Abstract: | A geophysical study was conducted over the Mid-Atlantic Ridge between 32–39°N and 30–40°W. A particularly deep fracture was observed which offset the ridge crest 110 km in the vicinity of 33°N. A pole of relative motion between the North American and African plates was deduced from this fracture zone as being at 63.1°N, 17°W. |
