Gulf of California Rift Zone : ウィキペディア英語版 | Gulf of California Rift Zone The Gulf of California Rift Zone (GCRZ) is the northernmost extension of the East Pacific Rise which extends some 1300 km from the mouth of the Gulf of California to the southern terminus of the San Andreas Fault at the Salton Sink. The GCRZ is an incipient rift zone akin to the Red Sea Rift. In the GCRZ continental crust originally associated with the North American Plate has been pulled apart by tectonic forces and is being replaced by newly formed oceanic crust and seafloor spreading. The rifting has resulted in the transfer of the Baja California Peninsula to the Pacific Plate. ==List of Transform Faults==
From north to south: * Imperial Fault * Cerro Prieto Fault * Ballenas Fault * Partida Fault * San Lorenzo Fault * Guaymas Fault * Carmen Fault * Farallon Fault * Atl Fault * Pescadero Fault * Tamayo Fault
