  • Field Trip Log Gulf of California Rift System: Laguna Salda-Valles Chico-San Feli- Pe, Baja California, México

Although, how the oblique rift evolves is not well known. Oblique rifting remain poorly understand relative to those orthogonal rifts, where the rift margins are approximately perpendicular to the extension direction, and to strike-slip system (Axen and Fletcher, 1998). The Gulf of California is perhaps the best modern example of oblique continental rifting where we can study the pro- cesses of such rifting as they lead to the interplate transfer of a continental fragment. This area presents unique op- portunities for understanding key processes at transtensional plate margins, which is important for energy and mineral exploration, as well as for interpretation of tectonics ancient continental margins (Umhoefer and Dorsey, 1997). One of the main features along the length of the gulf is the fault system which connects active basins (incipient spreading centers) from south to north (Fig 1). Two main structural regions are defined. From the mouth of the gulf to the latitude of the Tiburon and Angel de La Guardia Islands several basins bathymetrically are well expressed, among them; the Pescaderos, Farallon, Carmen, Guaymas, San Pedro Martir and Salsipudes Basins.

Centro de Investigación Científica y de Educación Superior de Ensenada, B.C. Km 107 carretera Tijuana-Ensenada, Ensenada, Baja California, México, 22860. * Corresponding author: E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Bathymetric surveys made between 1994 and 1998 in the Upper Gulf of California revealed that the bottom relief is dominated by narrow, up to 50 km long, tidal ridges and intervening troughs. These sedimentary linear features are oriented NW-SE, and run across the shallow shelf to the edge of Wagner Basin. Shallow tidal ridges near the Colorado River mouth are proposed to be active, while segments in deeper water are considered as either moribund or in burial stage. Superposition of seismic swarm epicenters and a seismic reflection section on bathymetric features indicate that two major ridge-troughs structures may be related to tectonic activity in the region. Off the Sonora coast the alignment and gradient of the isobaths matches the extension of the Cerro Prieto Fault into the Gulf. A similar gradient can be seen over the west margin of the Wagner Basin, where in 1970 a seismic swarm took place (Thatcher and Brune, 1971) overlapping with a prominent ridge-trough structure in the middle of the Upper Gulf.

  • Source Characteristics of the Mw 6.2 Loreto Earthquake of 12 March 2003 That Occurred in a Transform Fault in the Middle Of
    Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, Vol. 95, No. 2, pp. 419–430, April 2005, doi: 10.1785/0120030227 Source Characteristics of the Mw 6.2 Loreto Earthquake of 12 March 2003 that Occurred in a Transform Fault in the Middle of the Gulf of California, Mexico by Leobardo Lo´pez-Pineda and Cecilio J. Rebollar Abstract We analyzed the Loreto earthquake of 12 March 2003 Mw 6.2, which occurred in the transform fault that joins the Guaymas and Carmen Basins in the middle of the Gulf of California. This event was recorded by a network of autono- mous continuously recording broadband seismographs located over the Baja Cali- fornia Peninsula, Sonora, and Sinaloa states of Mexico. The main event was located km. A foreshock of magnitude 2 ע at 26.615Њ N and 111.09Њ W, at a depth of 5.0 4.2 was recorded and located at 26.580Њ N and 111.011Њ W. We located 35 after- shocks, 20% of them were located in the rupture area of the mainshock consistent with a nearly vertical right-lateral strike-slip fault with a northwest–southeast trend. Rupture propagation derived from waveform analysis indicated that the rupture prop- agated from northwest to southeast. Most of the aftershocks occurred southeaster of the main event. From the statistical analysis of 333 aftershocks we calculated a b- value of 0.68. Focal depth and fault geometry were estimated from body-wave form modeling of P and S waves. Synthetics were calculated using Herrmann’s (1987) reflectivity code with a triangular source time function of 6 sec.
