CLARION CLIPPERTON ZONE

CLARION CLIPPERTON ZONE

The Clipperton Fracture Zone, also known as the Clarion-Clipperton Zone, is a geological submarine fracture zone of the Pacific Ocean. It  spans 4.5 million square kilometers (1.7 million square miles) between Hawaii and Mexico, an abyssal plain as wide as the continental United States and punctuated by seamounts. Lying atop the muddy bottom or embedded just beneath it are trillions of potato-size polymetallic nodules. These rock like  deposits contain nickel, manganese, copper, zinc, cobalt, and other minerals.
