===Faults===
[[File:SoCal Transverse Ranges.svg|thumb|Transverse Ranges segments shown as shaded with bordering faults. Catalina not usually included in the province but it has similar geologic faults. |left]]The distinctive feature of the Transverse Ranges besides their anomalous orientation is that they are bounded by east-west trending faults. Most are left slip, [[strike slip faults]]. In the western and central segments many of the faults are [[thrust fault]]s.<ref name=":1" /><ref name=":2" /> Faults in the Coast Ranges and Peninsular Ranges trend northwest-southeast and butt into the east-west trending faults of the Transverse Ranges. Because all of these faults are considered active and seismic but they do to cut each other, the only geometry that satisfies that observation is if the east-west faults and Transverse Ranges are rotating clockwise with respect to the faults outside that province.<ref name=":3" />

Between the western segment and the Peninsular Ranges to the south is the complex Malibu Coast—Santa Monica—[[Hollywood fault]], which exists as the border between these two mostly geologically unitary provinces.<ref name="Barth2002">{{cite book|title=Contributions to Crustal Evolution of the Southwestern United States|last1=Meigs|first1=Andrew J.|last2=Oskin|first2=Michael E.|publisher=Geological Society of America|year=2002|isbn=978-0-8137-2365-5|editor-last=Barth|editor-first=Andrew|pages=281–7|chapter=Convergence, block rotation, and structural interference across the Peninsular-Transverse Ranges boundary, eastern Santa Monica Mountains, California|chapter-url=https://books.google.com/books?id=1ZPoZUE-jJAC&pg=PA281}}</ref> These faults are part of the same thrust fault system south of the northern Channel Islands of San Miguel, Santa Rosa, and Anacapa Islands.<ref name=":1" /> North of the western segment the bounding faults are left slip [[Santa Ynez Fault|Santa Ynez]] and Pine Mountain Faults. The [[San Gabriel Fault]] and San Andreas bound the central segment. The eastern segment is bounded by the Pinto Mountain Fault in the north and the Salton Creek Fault in the south.
