Provides a synthesis of regional segmentation structures in the Basin and Range province, specifically addressing regional segmentation, the role of major transverse structures, and termination of major normal- fault systems in an extensional orogen.

Subsequent chapters address specific transfer and accommodation zones. Includes b&w diagrams and maps, and a separate color map. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
