Deformed Latest Pleistocene Fluvial Terraces Reveal Complex Active Faulting within Tectonic Transition Zone, Mendocino Triple Junction, Northern California

The transition between the San Andreas fault (SAF) system and the southern Cascadia subduction zone (CSZ) at the Mendocino Triple Junction (MTJ) encompasses a broad zone of complex deformation, the Mendocino deformation zone. Here, there are discrepancies between types of geological structures (tran...
