The UA Campus Repository is experiencing systematic automated, high-volume traffic (bots). Temporary mitigation measures to address bot traffic have been put in place; however, this has resulted in restrictions on searching WITHIN collections or using sidebar filters WITHIN collections. You can still Browse by Title/Author/Year WITHIN collections. Also, you can still search at the top level of the repository (use the search box at the top of every page) and apply filters from that search level. Export of search results has also been restricted at this time. Please contact us at any time for assistance - email repository@u.library.arizona.edu.

dc.descriptionThe area examined in this report is located in the extreme southwestern corner of Arizona, principally in the Sonoran Desert subprovince of the southern Basin and Range province. A very small portion of this corner of Arizona lies within the Salton Trough subprovince, a deep sediment-filled structural depression that trends northwest through Mexico, Arizona, and California. At least a dozen geothermal anomalies have been identified in the Salton Trough (Elders, 1979). The geothermal anomalies are generally located above segments of the East Pacific Rise, an oceanic spreading center that extends up the Gulf of California and beneath its landward extension, the Salton Trough. The region is interpreted as a complex, transitional plate boundary that takes up stress created by two different tectonic regimes: spreading at the East Pacific Rise and transform motion along the San Andreas fault system as the Pacific plate moves northwestward. As a result of this continuing motion, the Gulf of California- Salton Trough system is a actively growing rift. (27 pages)
