Appraisal of the mineral resource potential and assessment of environmental problems of any specific area require an understanding of the regional geology. The geology of t he coastal zone and offshore islands from Point Conception to the Mexican boundary serves as a frame of reference from which rock units and structures can be extrapolated into submerged parts of the borderland (sheet 1). Such extrapolations should be used with caution, for the tectonic evolution and depositional history of parts of the borderland may not have paralleled those of the mainland. On shore, rocks and structures c an be observed directly with supplemental aid from deep drill holes; but in areas covered by deep water, only indirect techniques such as geophysical methods and shallow coring provide information from which geologic intepretations can be made
