| New Mexico: Excellent photograph of the whole New Mexico portion of the Rio Grande rift in its larger context. The green band snaking down the center of the view is the Rio Grande. From the Franklins near El Paso, northward through Colorado, the mountain ranges flanking the rift valley trend north. The valleys are commonly asymmetrical (half-grabens) -- deeper on the side closest to the range front. Along the length of the rift, the ranges are separated from each other by transfer fault zones that generally trend northeast in this region. |
