1. Transverse Ranges

   Linked via "Big Bend region"

   Geological Formation and Tectonics
   The fundamental structure of the Transverse Ranges is compressional, contrasting with the shear-dominated mechanics of the adjacent fault systems. This compression results from the accommodation of rotational strain induced by the non-linear geometry of the SAFS. Specifically, the clockwise bending of the southern SAFS around the Big Bend region forces crustal shortening perpendicular to the general plate bound…
