Resumen

La extraordinaria diversidad magmática de la Faja Volcánica Transmexicana está controlada (directa o indirectamente) por dos placas oceánicas independientes cuyos parámetros geofísicos y composicionales se modifican constantemente a lo largo de la trinchera, por un régimen tectónico esencialmente distensivo que opera con distinta intensidad sobre la placa continental, por un basamento cortical con diferentes edades, espesores y composiciones, y por una fuente mantélica primaria de composición extremadamente variable que ha sido influenciada, en mayor o menor medida, por los agentes químicos derivados de la subducción. El régimen tectónico convergente y, en consecuencia, el arco magmático, tampoco han evolucionado de forma homogénea a lo largo su historia, sino que han mostrado transformaciones notables en su posición, geometría y composición. Por estos motivos, la Faja Volcánica Transmexicana es el resultado de uno de los sistemas tectónicos convergentes más complejos del planeta, el objeto de más de un siglo de investigaciones científicas, y también el centro de las controversias más notables sobre la geología mexicana.

Palabras clave: Faja Volcánica Transmexicana; México; subducción; arco magmático; petrología ígnea; manto; corteza

Abstract

The magmatic diversity of the Transmexican Volcanic Belt is directly or indirectly controlled by two independent oce-anicplates with differing geophysical and compositionalparameters, by an extensional tectonic regime that operates with different intensities over the upperplate, by a continental basement with a diversity of ages, thicknesses and compositions, and by a compositionally heterogeneous mantle wedge that has been modified to various extents by the subduction-de-rived chemical agents. The convergent margin and the magmatic arc have not been evolving homogenously though their geologic histories, but instead have shown significant changes in position, geometry and composition. For these reasons, the Transmexican Volcanic Belt is the result of one of the most complex convergent margins on the planet, the subject of more than a century of scientific investigations, and the core of the most notable debates on the Mexican geology.

Key words: Transmexican Volcanic Belt; Mexico; subduction; magmatic arc; igneous petrology; mantle; crust
