The tectonic activity along the Gulf of California–Salton Trough has created spreading centers linked through a set of transform faults. Such faults are characterized by right lateral motion obliquely oriented to the gulf axis, which produces a transtensional stress regime along the Pacific–North American plate boundary. In particular, the Cerro Prieto basin has developed between the major Cerro Prieto and Imperial right-stepping transform faults, which are part of the San Andreas–Gulf of California fault system (figure...
