Large magnetic anomalies and abundant volcanism are associated with segments of these faults. The faults are interpreted to represent a transform fault zone here designated as the "Guaymas fault zone."Active spreading is taking place within the Guaymas and possibly the San Pedro Martir Basins, although patterns of sediment distribution within these basins preclude a model of simple stationary positions of active spreading centers for more than a few tens of thousands of years at a time.
