Resumen

Resultados paleomagnéticos de aproximadamente 500 muestras orientadas colectadas en 59 sitios de la sección este del Eje Volcánico Trans-Mexicano se presentan en este trabajo. Las rocas ígneas estudiadas son del Plioceno y Cuaternario, con la excepción del macizo de Palma Sola, de edad Mioceno. Los resultados paleomagnéticos se usan para correlacionar con resultados geoquímicos y geológicos del área y con resultados paleomagnéticos de Norteamérica y México. Los resultados no indican movimiento relativo significante entre Norteamérica y la sección central-este de México en el periodo estudiado.
