Geomorphic response to late Quaternary tectonism: Coastal northern California, Mendocino triple junction region.

Different patterns of uniform-uplift periods associated with passage of the Mendocino triple junction (MTJ) and a change in tectonic regime are based on altudinal spacing analyses of nine flights of marine terraces.
