Abstract:
The Colima volcanic complex is the most prominent
volcanic center of the western Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt. It consists
of two southward-younging volcanoes, Nevado de Colima (the 4,320-m-high
point of the complex) on the north and the historically active Volcan
de Colima at the south. A group of cinder cones of probable late-Pleistocene
age is located on the floor of the Colima graben west and east of
the Colima Complex. Volcan de Colima (also known as Volcan Fuego)
is a youthful stratovolcano constructed within a 5-km-wide caldera,
breached to the south, that has been the source of large debris
avalanches. Slope failure has occurred repetitively from both the
Nevado and Fuego cones, and has produced a thick apron of debris-avalanche
deposits on three sides of the complex. Frequent historical eruptions
from Colima's summit crater have produced vertical pyroclastic columns,
pyroclastic flows, and lava flows.
