Resumen

Se reportan estudios de geología y de campos potenciales en el Estado de Colima, México, para estudiar la extensión neotectónica previamente interpretada a través del Graben de Colima. Nuestros estudios indican que la extensión tectónica al sur del Volcán de Colima es nula o muy pequeña y que los rasgos interpretados previamente como estructuras extensionales son rasgos erosionales relacionados con antiguas deformaciones o a cortes de barrancas producidos por la rápida sedimentación del Volcán de Colima.
