Geological and geochemical investigations on the eastern Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt
Contenido principal del artículo
Resumen
Este trabajo informa sobre investigaciones geoquímicas y geológicas de la sección este del Cinturón Volcánico Transmexicano (TMVB}.Como resultado de nuestro trabajo, nosotros preferimos considerar que el eje neovolcánico termina en la costa del Golfo de México y no en el área del Altiplano (Robín, 1981), por lo que respecta a la actividad volcánica durante el Plioceno-Quatemario. Durante esa época el volcanismo presenta un carácter calcalcalino-alcalino. El volcanismo en el Mioceno produjo rocas ígneas alcalinas-calcalcalinas en el macizo de Palma Sola y rocas ígneas calcalcalinas en la sección occidental de México, debido a la migración este-oeste de la "subducción" de la placa paleopacífica (Robín, 1976). Nuestros resultados geoquímicos no niegan ni favorecen un modelo geológico único y tampoco excluyen la versión de una microplaca de Shurbet and Cebull (1984). Sin embargo, los resultados geoquímicos no pueden explicarse por derivación directa del volcanismo de la "litosfera oceánica" (p.e., Robín, 1981, 1982). Independientemente de esto, el volcanismo del eje neovolcánico parece haber sido causado o inducido por la subducción de las placas Rivera y Cocos.
