Talk:List of fracture zones

Improvement Plan
Despite being relative large geographic tectonic features Fracture Zones rarely are notable in own right. This article suffers from a number of conflicting styles accumulated over edits as gradually more of the 200+ recognised geological features with the name fracture zone were added. Occasionally such features have been misnamed as is case Diamantina Fracture Zone. My plan for gradual improvement is: ChaseKiwi (talk) 10:57, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
 * 1) Detail all names as presently exist as Fracture Zones for consistency (done)
 * 2) Add names that seem significant that are missed out noting challenges of geographical areas as ideally should be related to common tectonics but of course Fracture Zones may be named before tectonics of them or even fracture zones is fully understood and have multiple names (work in progress)
 * 3) Compile a map of named Fracture Zones to be added in due course to top of article in the Gazetteers noting that although traces will be inaccurate and have conflicts a combination of Gazetteers,  original literature review and labelled maps such as ArcGIS oceans will be helpful  (work in progress - significant gaps to be added to page as interim progress with references).
 * 4) Move to table format thru out  with coordinates say from Marine Gazetteer in due course, using map produced above to represent linear coordinates. No objection if someone else started on this as its trivial looking up coordinated in Marine Gazetteer alone which would capture most of work but time consuming especially as I would add an age and comment column to every table entry. I will possibly add some age data as I go as this data data immediately tells you if inactive fracture zone but am mainly accumulating as I do the map exerise . Age of most of Atlantic Ocean Fracture Zones is very similar
