The southern end of the Gulf of California. Transect 5PE with ocean-bottom and land seismometer locations indicated as red dots. (lower left) Migrated multi-channel seismic (MCS) data from the northernmost Middle America Trench showing an active deformation front and a bottom-simulating reflector within the nascent accretionary prism. (right) Migrated MCS data with enlargements showing deformation and prominent unconformity associated with the transition from extension to compression and subduction.
