Fault-bound blocks of crust that form parallel to the ridges as the lithosphere cools and contracts are called abyssal hills. As ridges adjust to changes in the direction of plate motions, they break into segments that are bounded by faults. These faults create areas of rough topography called fracture zones, which run perpendicular across the ridge.
