Fracture zones adjacent to midocean ridges is where on earth are strike-slip faults most common.
Blocks have mainly shifted horizontally over strike-slip faults, which are vertical (or almost vertical) fissures. Right lateral slip style refers to a block moving to the right when observed from across a fault; left lateral slip style refers to a block moving to the left.
Transform faults that offset mid-ocean ridge segments leave behind scars known as fracture zones in the interiors of plates. The melt supply may be reduced or increased at the extremities of spreading segments where this transform faulting occurs, resulting in differences in crustal thickness across transform faults.
