Photographs of Baja California taken from space--by astronauts using hand-held cameras on various Gemini and Apollo missions and by automatic camera on the Apollo 6 flight--provide illustrations of known structural features of the peninsula and also reveal some structures not recognized previously. An apparent transform relationship between strike-slip and normal faulting is illustrated by the overlapping vertical photographs from Apollo 6 of northern Baja California. The uplands of the high Sierra San Pedro Martir are seen on the photographs to be a low-relief surface deformed by young faults, monoclines, and warps, which mostly produce west-facing steps and slopes. The topography is basically structural, not erosional. (Author)
