Accommodation zones separate these segments and are defined by changes of structural style and topography in the Peninsular Ranges and/or the Gulf extensional province. These and other characteristics allow speculative definition of segments, ∼50–150 km long, along the Baja California peninsula. This content is PDF only. Please click on the PDF icon to access.
