Where a mid-ocean ridge is offset, the linear feature connecting and between the crests of the ridge segments is called a transform fault.
Transform fault, in geology and oceanography, are type of fault in which two tectonic plates slide over each other. Transform faults can occur in parts of fault zones that lie between different offset propagating centers, or in parts that connect propagating centers to deep-ocean trenches in subduction zones.
The spatial direction of the translation error is usually parallel to the plate motion. Deformation faults are the only segments of seismically active shatter zones. Morgan's theory made a very dramatic prediction, that the direction of translation error movement is opposite to the displacement of the ocean ridge.
