Literature Cited:
Locations: Yaqui Ridge.
Yaqui Ridge to the north. | Luther and Axen (2013) examined geologic paleostress inversion from a segment of the folded West Salton detachment fault located on Yaqui Ridge, a left stepover in the San Felipe dextral fault zone of Southern California. Their data suggest that the tectonic transition from extension to dextral faulting may have occurred under very low differential stress levels, and, if this is true, then it also is likely that both the SAF and low-angle normal faults are very weak.
