Volcán de Colima

Colima

Stratovulcano · Mexico · 3850 m

The Colima volcanic complex consists of the massive overlapping edifices Nevado de Colima (the highest point of the complex to the right) and Volcán de Colima (left). Volcán de Colima was constructed within a 5-km-wide caldera that opens to the south and has been the source of large debris avalanches. Frequent historical eruptions have included dome growth, explosive activity, pyroclastic flows, and lava flows.

Sintesi geologica

The Colima complex is the most prominent volcanic center of the western Mexican Volcanic Belt. It consists of two southward-younging volcanoes, Nevado de Colima (the high point of the complex) on the north and the historically active Volcán de Colima at the south. A group of late-Pleistocene cinder cones is located on the floor of the Colima graben west and east of the complex. Volcán de Colima (also known as Volcán Fuego) is a youthful stratovolcano constructed within a 5-km-wide scarp, breached to the south, that has been the source of large debris avalanches. Major slope failures have occurred repeatedly from both the Nevado and Colima cones, producing thick debris-avalanche deposits on three sides of the complex. Frequent recorded eruptions date back to the 16th century. Occasional major explosive eruptions have destroyed the summit (most recently in 1913) and left a deep, steep-sided crater that was slowly refilled and then overtopped by lava dome growth.

Sintesi da Wikipedia

Il Volcán de Colima, chiamato anche Volcán de Fuego de Colima), è il più attivo vulcano del Messico e dista solo 5 km dal più vecchio e inattivo Nevado de Colima. Si trova quasi al limite occidentale della Fascia Vulcanica Trasversale, di cui fa parte. Nonostante il suo nome, solo una sua piccola parte rientra nello Stato di Colima, mentre per la maggior parte appartiene allo Stato di Jalisco.
