Atlantic fracture systems extend across enormous distances while maintaining recognizable structural continuity. Their scale alone makes them valuable candidates for comparative analysis.
This paper evaluates fracture-zone organization through hierarchy, spacing relationships, continuity length, segmentation frequency, and regional persistence.
Rather than focusing on formation mechanisms, the analysis examines how fracture systems maintain recognizable organization across multiple observational scales.
The resulting framework supports direct comparison with ridges, trenches, mountain systems, volcanic chains, and basin networks.
This paper introduces fracture-system hierarchy as a formal component of the Energetics & Scale framework.
