The Gulf of California Rift Zone (GCRZ) is the northernmost extension of the East Pacific Rise which extends some 1,300 km (800 mi) from the mouth of the Gulf of California to the southern terminus of the San Andreas Fault at the Salton Sink. The GCRZ is an incipient rift zone akin to the Red Sea Rift. In the GCRZ continental crust originally associated with the North American Plate has been pulled apart by tectonic forces and is being replaced by newly formed oceanic crust and seafloor spreading. The rifting has resulted in the transfer of the Baja California Peninsula to the Pacific Plate.

Quella del Golfo di California è una zona di rift ancora nella fase iniziale ed è quindi caratterizzata dalla presenza di faglie trasformi non interconnesse e di bacini isolati. Nella zona di rift del Golfo di California la crosta continentale originariamente parte della placca nordamericana è spinta da parte dalle forte tettoniche e viene continuamente rimpiazzata dalla crosta oceanica appena formata e quindi dall'espansione del fondale marino. Il risultato del rifting è stato il passaggio della penisola della Bassa California alla placca pacifica. (it)
