Structural Mapping of the Gorda Plate



(A) Mapped faults and fault-related ridges within Gorda plate based on basement structure and surface morphology,
overlain on bathymetric contours (gray lines—250 m interval).  The approximate boundaries of the three structural segments are also shown.
Black arrows indicated approximate location of possible northwest-trending large-scale folds. (B and C) Uninterpreted and interpreted enlargements of
center of plate showing location of interpreted second-generation strike-slip faults and features that they appear to offset.
