Caption from Oceanus magazine, vol. 49, no. 3, pg. 44:
In the Gulf of California, magma rises from Earth's interior along a zigzagging zipper of spreading centers connected by major faults. The magma solidifies, adding new ocean crust to the seafloor, widening the ocean basin, and further separating the Baja Peninsula from the rest of Mexico.
