The Cerro Prieto Fault is a transform fault located in far northern Baja California. It runs between the Cerro Prieto spreading center located southwest of Mexicali, and the Wagner Basin, another spreading center which lies under the Gulf of California. These spreading centers are part of the East Pacific Rise, the northern leg of which has formed the Gulf of California by steadily rifting the Baja California Peninsula away from the mainland of Mexico.

La faglia fa parte della dorsale del Pacifico orientale, la cui parte settentrionale ha formato il Golfo di California, letteralmente separando la penisola di Bassa California dal Messico. (it)

  • Cierro Prieto fault and area to the north. The red lines are simplified faults. Right-lateral direction of motion of the transform fault is shown . The red rhombs are pull-apart basins; the northern one is the site of the Niland geothermal field, the southern the Cerro Prieto geothermal field. (en)

  • The Cerro Prieto Fault is a transform fault located in far northern Baja California. It runs between the Cerro Prieto spreading center located southwest of Mexicali, and the Wagner Basin, another spreading center which lies under the Gulf of California. These spreading centers are part of the East Pacific Rise, the northern leg of which has formed the Gulf of California by steadily rifting the Baja California Peninsula away from the mainland of Mexico. Seismic studies indicate a linear trend of hypocenters to the northwest of Cerro Prieto which is interpreted as a continuation of the Cerro Prieto Fault some 45 km to the northwest across the international border about 7 km into southern California.

  • La faglia del Cerro Prieto è una delle faglie trasformi a movimento laterale destro presenti nella parte settentrionale della Bassa California. La faglia si estende tra il centro di espansione del Cerro Prieto, a sud ovest di Mexicali e il bacino di Wagner, nella parte settentrionale del Golfo di California. La faglia fa parte della dorsale del Pacifico orientale, la cui parte settentrionale ha formato il Golfo di California, letteralmente separando la penisola di Bassa California dal Messico. Studi sismologici hanno individuato una sequenza lineare di ipocentri a nord-ovest del Cerro Prieto, interpretando ciò come una continuazione della faglia del Cerro Prieto per circa 45 km verso nord-ovest, fino ad arrivare di 7 km oltre l'attuale confine internazionale tra Messico e Stati Uniti d'America.
