Popis:	Long range sidescan sonar data covering active sections of two transform fault zones are presented to illustrate the range of structures observed during the surveying of several Atlantic fracture zones. The trace of the actively slipping component, the Principal Transform Displacement Zone, is identified and its configuration interpreted in terms of either extensional/compressional stress systems or oblique motion at the plate boundaries.
