Abstract
The Molokai fracture zone lies, between Molokai Island, Hawaii and Baja California. It is midway between, and parallel to, the Murray and Clarion zones. Offset of depth contours and the change of parallel ridges and troughts to en echelon structures at 135° W suggest left lateral movement decreasing to the east. The continental extension of the Molokai zone marks the southern limit of the Continental Borderland physiographic province and coincides with a change of topography and crustal structure in the Gulf of California. The Molokai zone appears to be in an intermediate stage of development compared with the adjacent ones.
