The lake itself is located on the bottom of a shallow depression , a graben , which is linked to the San Andreas Fault , and the East Pacific Rise as part of the Laguna Salada Fault . This fault is connected to the Salton Trough fault which holds a similar depression , the Salton Sink . This sink is bigger than Laguna Salada and contains the Salton Sea .
