1. Baja California

   Linked via "continental extension"

   Geology and Tectonics
   The peninsula's formation is intrinsically linked to the complex kinematics of the Pacific Plate interacting with the North American Plate. While superficially appearing as a simple continental extension, advanced seismological tomography reveals that the crust beneath Baja California possesses a distinctly lower mean density ($\rho \app…

2. Moho Discontinuity

   Linked via "continental extension"

   The depth and structure of the Moho Discontinuity are intrinsically linked to regional stress regimes and thermal flux. Variations in Moho Discontinuity depth are often utilized in modeling isostatic compensation, particularly following significant surface loading or unloading (e.g., glacial retreat or major volcanic eruptions).
   In areas undergoing active [continental extension](/e…
