Mexican volcanic belt: present state of knowledge and unsolved problems
Contenido principal del artículo
Resumen
Primeramente, se presenta una breve reseña de los estudios disponibles (hasta 1984) sobre el Cintur6n Volcánico Mexicano (CVM). Esto se sigue con una s1ntesis de los resultados mas importantes de los trabajos incluidos en el Volumen Especial sobre el CVM (Geofís. Int., Vol. 24, Num. 1 & 4; Vol. 26, Num. 1 & 2). A pesar de que el Volumen CVM (con 28 trabajos) ha proporcionado un salta cuantioso en nuestro conocimiento de esta provincia volcánica, aun persisten muchos huecos grandes en el y existen muchas preguntas no-contestadas. Por lo tanto, un esfuerzo coordinado y sistemático es muy deseable y tal vez necesario si queremos lograr un progreso significativo ( jdurante nuestras propias vidas!) concerniente a esta importante provincia circum-Pacifica.
