The Murray Fracture Zone is one of the principal east-west rifts in the crust of the northeast Pacific basin. As judged by bathymetric and magnetic surveys, the Murray approaches the Hawaiian Archipelago as a well-defined zone of ridges and troughs accompanied by strong, linear magnetic anomalies. It loses its topographic expression on encountering the Hawaiian Arch but can be traced magnetically to its intersection with the Hawaiian Ridge in the vicinity of Laysan Island (near 172 degrees W). All evidence tends to discount a previously suggested genetic relation between the Murray Fracture Zone and the Necker Ridge.
默里断裂带是东北太平洋盆地地壳中主要的东西向裂谷之一。根据水深测量和磁场测量，默里断裂带接近夏威夷群岛，呈现出一系列清晰的山脊和槽谷，伴有强烈的线性磁场异常。它在遇到夏威夷群岛时失去了地形特征，但可以通过磁场追踪到它与夏威夷脊在拉扬岛（约西经 172 度）附近的交汇点。所有证据都倾向于否定以前提出的默里断裂带与内克山脊之间存在遗传关系的假设。
