Revisionof the stratigraphy indicates that the interaction between magma and hydrothermal acid water playedan important role during the last phases of the eruption. Diluted density currents were widely dispersed,mainly to the eastern side of the volcano due to the particular topographic conditions in this area. Theoverall distribution of pyroclastic surge deposits refl ects the dispersal of fallout deposits determined bythe direction of tropospheric (ENE) winds at the time of the eruption. This observation suggests thatnear-ground winds were strong and blowing in the same direction as high altitude (<18 km) winds, thusenhancing the dispersion of the vanishing portions of the pyroclastic density currents. 2005 artículo científico 1026-8774 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=57222203 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=572 Revista Mexicana de Ciencias Geológicas application/pdf Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México Revista Mexicana de Ciencias Geológicas (México) Num.2 Vol.22 |
