The Rivera TripleJunction RTJ is a geologic triplejunction located on the seafloor of the Pacific Ocean southeast of the southern tip of the Baja California Peninsula . At the RTJ, three tectonic plates intersect the North American Plate , the Rivera Plate , and the Pacific Plate .

One research effort describes it as an R R R ridge ridge ridge type junction which lies along the segment of the East Pacific Rise which runs between the Rivera Transform Fault and the Tamayo Fault , although the third axis of the junction is not clearly defined. ref http www.springerlink.com content n70248363t383320 SpringerLink Journal Article Bot generated title ref Part of the problem in describing the Rivera TripleJunction is that if it were truly analogous to the Mendocino TripleJunction, then it would exist at the junction of the East Pacific Rise, the Tamayo Fault, and the Middle America Trench . But thus far, there does not appear to be any evidence that the Tamayo Fault or the East Pacific Rise intersect the Middle America Trench at all, thus presenting a possible example of a diffuse triplejunction.

It is the meeting point of the North American Plate represented by the Okhotsk Plate Okhotsk subplate to the north, the Pacific Plate to the east and the Philippine Sea Plate to the south. Name origin It is named the Boso Triple Junction after the Boso peninsula . Formation It is formed from the junction of the Izu Bonin Mariana Arc where the Izu Bonin Trench meets with the Japan Trench and the Sagami Trough Sagami Trench . Risks Tokyo is some 300 km from the Boso triple junction, and is subject to quakes and tsunamis generated from slips along this junction. However, there is a large populated region along the coast of the main island that would also be subject to damage. This junction likely has the highest associated insurance risk in the world, due to proximity to extensive urban development. The 2011 T hoku earthquake and tsunami were generated along the Japan trench well to the north of the junction, and did not involve the other trenches, although quakes which may be aftershocks have been observed there.
