Mendocino Fracture Zone
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Mendocino Fracture Zone is a transform boundary off the coast of Cape Mendocino in far northern California. It runs westward from a triple junction with the San Andreas Fault and the Cascadia subduction zone to the southern end of the Gorda Ridge. West of its junction with the Gorda Ridge, an inactive remnant section continues for several hundred miles.
