title: Crustal plates in the central atlantic: evidence for at least two poles of rotation.
abstract: fracture zone that ofisets the Mid-Atlantic Ridge at 24 degrees N, 45 degrees W was traced westward over a distance of 840 kilometers. The radius of curvature of the fracture zone changes at about 47 degrees 45'W; this suggests that the fracture zone was generated by rotation of crustal plates about at least two sequential poles.
