The Colorado Desert is a subdivision of the larger Sonoran Desert〔https://calwil.wordpress.com/category/california-colorado-desert/〕 encompassing approximately 〔http://www.borregospringschamber.com/abdsp/documents/ch08_colorado.pdf〕 The desert encompasses Imperial County and includes parts of San Diego County, Riverside County, and a small part of San Bernardino County.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Colorado Desert )
The majority of the Colorado Desert lies at a relatively low elevation, below , with the lowest point of the desert floor at below sea level at the Salton Sea. Although the highest peaks of the Peninsular Range reach elevations of nearly , most of the region's mountains do not exceed .
In this region, the geology is dominated by the transition of the tectonic plate boundary from rift to fault. The southernmost strands of the San Andreas Fault connect to the northern-most extensions of the East Pacific Rise. Consequently, the region is subject to earthquakes, and the crust is being stretched, resulting in a sinking of the terrain over time.
