...Javier F. Pacheco; William Bandy; Gabriel A. Reyes-Dávila; Francisco J. Núñez-Cornú; Carlos A. Ramírez-Vázquez; Juan R. Barrón Abstract The 7 March 2000 earthquake ( M W 5.3), located within the southern Colima rift in southwestern Mexico, is the largest crustal earthquake ever recorded...

.... At approximately 18:54 UTC on 10 May 1999, a large explosion occurred at the Colima volcano. Tremor episodes were detected four hours before the explosion, as were occasional VT LF earthquakes, each with larger amplitudes than those detected during the hours prior to the 10 February explosion (compare Figs...

... grabens, which are fracture zones denoted as black lines. Other features are the Armería Canyon (AC), El Gordo graben (GG), and the southern Colima rift (SCR). Historic seismicity includes the 1932 M  8.2 and M  7.8 earthquakes and the 1995 M  8.0 and M  6.4 earthquakes (stars). Areas of major late...

.... Over the past decade, at least five significant earthquakes (Mw.7.0) have struck the area and the high seismic hazard in the region was cited as recently as 2000 by researchers who stated that the occurrence of another large earth- quake along the coastal Colima and Jalisco in the next few decades...

... with different sizes and geometries evidenced by deep seismicity data. There is no evidence of a slab below the CRZ due to seismicity being scarce, except on the coast and the Colima volcano area where deep earthquakes (>70 km) are observed, which could be related to magmatic processes. The seismicity...

...Max Suter ABSTRACT This detailed macroseismic study of a locally devastating earthquake doublet in the western part of the Trans‐Mexican volcanic belt, north of Fuego de Colima Volcano, on 22 and 23 October 1749 is based on contemporary documentary sources. The shocks razed the towns of Zapotlán el...
