  • Magmatic Evolution of the Nevado Del Ruiz Volcano, Central Cordillera, Colombia Minera1 Chemistry and Geochemistry
    Magmatic evolution of the Nevado del Ruiz volcano, Central Cordillera, Colombia Minera1 chemistry and geochemistry N. VATIN-PÉRIGNON “‘, P. GOEMANS “‘, R.A. OLIVER ‘*’ L. BRIQUEU 13),J.C. THOURET 14J,R. SALINAS E. 151,A. MURCIA L. ” Abstract : The Nevado del RU~‘, located 120 km west of Bogota. is one of the currently active andesitic volcanoes that lies north of the Central Cordillera of Colombia at the intersection of two dominant fault systems originating in the Palaeozoïc basement. The pre-volcanic basement is formed by Palaeozoïc gneisses intruded by pre-Cretaceous and Tertiarygranitic batholiths. They are covered by lavas and volcaniclastic rocks from an eroded volcanic chain dissected during the late Pliocene. The geologic history of the Nevado del Ruiz records two periods of building of the compound volcano. The stratigraphie relations and the K-Ar dating indicate that effusive and explosive volcanism began approximately 1 Ma ago with eruption of differentiated andesitic lava andpyroclastic flows and andesitic domes along a regional structural trend. Cataclysmic eruptions opened the second phase of activity. The Upper sequences consist of block-lavas and lava domes ranging from two pyroxene-andesites to rhyodacites. Holocene to recent volcanic eruptions, controled by the intense tectonic activity at the intersection of the Palestina fawlt with the regional fault system, are similar in eruptive style and magma composition to eruptions of the earlier stages of building of the volcano. The youngest volcanic activity is marked by lateral phreatomagmatic eruptions, voluminous debris avalanches. ash flow tuffs and pumice falls related to catastrophic collapse during the historic eruptions including the disastrous eruption of 1985.

  • Reactivation Episodes of the Romeral Fault System in the Northwestern Part of Central Andes, Colombia, Through 39Ar-40Ar and K-Ar Results
    REACTIVATION EPISODES OF THE ROMERAL FAULT SYSTEM IN THE NORTHWESTERN PART OF CENTRAL ANDES, COLOMBIA, THROUGH 39AR-40AR AND K-AR RESULTS EPISODIOS DE REACTIVACIÓN DEL SISTEMA DE FALLAS DE ROMERAL EN LA PARTE NOR-OCCIDENTAL DE LOS ANDES CENTRALES DE COLOMBIA A TRAVÉS DE RESULTADOS 39AR- 40AR Y K-AR CESAR VINASCO Ph.D., Universidad Nacional de Colombia, Medellin, [email protected] UMBERTO CORDANI Ph.D., Universidade de Sao Paulo, Brazil Recibido para evaluación: 30 Octubre 2012/Aceptación: 15 Noviembre: 2012 / Recibida Versión Final: 29 Noviembre 2012 ABSTRACT: Direct dating of reactivation of the San Jerónimo Fault (SJF), easternmost limit of the Romeral fault system (RFS), is presented through 39Ar-40Ar and K-Ar results in neo-formed micas and mylonitic bands of strongly hidrothermalized gabbros. Published cooling and crystallization ages from sin-tectonic magmatic rocks exposed in the western fl ank of the Central Cordillera have suggest that tectonic evolution of the paleo-fault system began since Triassic and Lower Jurassic before the installation of Central Cordillera in its present position relative to the South American margin (SOAM). The Sabaletas greenchists (Arquía complex) yields 39Ar-40Ar plateau age of 127±5 Ma and integrated ages between 102-115 Ma eventually recording the initial accommodation of the Albian-Aptian volcano- sedimentary sequence of the Quebradagrande Complex to the continental margin. Direct dating of fault reactivation of SJF through 39Ar-40Ar analysis in neo-formed micas in mylonitic bands and K-Ar ages in a hidrothermalized gabbro belonging to the Quebradagrande volcanic rocks shows plateau ages ranging from 87-90 Ma in biotite and 72-81 Ma in sericite, whereas K-Ar whole rock ages in samples collected in the area of infl uence of the SJF range between 91-102 Ma.

  • 6 Three-Dimensional Spatial Distribution of Scatterers in Galeras Volcano, South- Western Colombia
    6 THREE-DIMENSIONAL SPATIAL DISTRIBUTION OF SCATTERERS IN GALERAS VOLCANO, SOUTH- WESTERN COLOMBIA 6.1 INTRODUCTION In this chapter we will focus on the imaging of small-scale heterogeneities by the estimation of three-dimensional spatial distribution of relative scattering coefficients from shallow earthquakes occurred under the Galeras volcano region. The technique for the inversion of coda-wave envelopes was previously developed in Chapters 3 and 4. In this case, among the possible inversion methods to use for solving the problem, we will use the Filtered Backprojection method, because in Chapter 5 it was demonstrated that the results were almost independent of the inversion method used. Moreover, the FBP method required much less computation time to perform the inversion. Galeras is a 4276-m high andesitic stratovolcano in south-western Colombia near the border to Ecuador (see Figure 6-1). It is a 4,500 years old active cone of a more than 1 Ma old volcanic complex located in the Central Cordillera of the south-western Colombian Andes. It is historically the most active volcano in Colombia and it has been reactivated frequently in historic times [65]. It awakened again gradually in 1988 after more than 40 years of repose. Galeras is situated at 1°14'N and 77°'22'W, and its active summit raises 150 m up from the 80 m deep and 320 m wide caldera, which is open to the west (see Figure 6-2). The present active crater lies about 6 km west of Pasto, which has a population of more than 300,000 and with another 100,000 people living around the volcano.

    GEOGACETA.27. 2000 El Volcán Nevado del Huila (Colombia): rasgos generales y caracterización com pos icional Nevado del Huila Volcano (Colombia): generals features and compositional characterization A. M~ Correa(**), H. Cepeda(*), B. Pulgarin(*) y E. Ancochea(**) (*) Observatorio Vulcanológico y Sismológico de Popayán. INGEOMINAS. Popayán - Cauca. (Colombia) (** )Departamento de Petrologla y Geoqulmica. Univ. Complutense. Ciudad Universitaria. 28040 Madrid. (España) ABSTRACT Nevado del Huila Volcano (VNH), the highest volcano of the colombian Andes (5360m) has be en relatively inactive for a long time, may be since prehistoric times beca use there is no historica! record. of volcanic activity. This continental margin volcano zone belongs to the volcanic ridge associated to the subduction of the Nazca Plate beneath the South American Plate. VNH has been generally classified as stratovolcano with predominant effusive activity. However the recent discovery of new pyroclastic deposits identified by the authors, suggest that VNH had more than one explosive episode in past time. The lavas ofVNH are typical andesites of active continental margin, belonging to calcoalcaline series. Only a few of the these lavas are slightly tholeitic, all of them have a clear subalcaline tendency (Na20 + K20 < 8%) with a high to medium K20 contents varying between 7,5 - 3%. Key Words: volcano, andesites, Andes, Nevado del Huila, Colombia Geogaceta, 27 (7999),57-54 ISSN: 0273683X 7d'QfJW Introducción El Volcán Nevado del Huila (VNH), con una altura de 5360 mS.n.m, es uno de los 23 volcanes de Colombia y el más alto 3'OO'N de los Andes Colombianos.

  • Colombia Curriculum Guide 090916.Pmd
    National Geographic describes Colombia as South America’s sleeping giant, awakening to its vast potential. “The Door of the Americas” offers guests a cornucopia of natural wonders alongside sleepy, authentic villages and vibrant, progressive cities. The diverse, tropical country of Colombia is a place where tourism is now booming, and the turmoil and unrest of guerrilla conflict are yesterday’s news. Today tourists find themselves in what seems to be the best of all destinations... panoramic beaches, jungle hiking trails, breathtaking volcanoes and waterfalls, deserts, adventure sports, unmatched flora and fauna, centuries old indigenous cultures, and an almost daily celebration of food, fashion and festivals. The warm temperatures of the lowlands contrast with the cool of the highlands and the freezing nights of the upper Andes. Colombia is as rich in both nature and natural resources as any place in the world. It passionately protects its unmatched wildlife, while warmly sharing its coffee, its emeralds, and its happiness with the world. It boasts as many animal species as any country on Earth, hosting more than 1,889 species of birds, 763 species of amphibians, 479 species of mammals, 571 species of reptiles, 3,533 species of fish, and a mind-blowing 30,436 species of plants. Yet Colombia is so much more than jaguars, sombreros and the legend of El Dorado. A TIME magazine cover story properly noted “The Colombian Comeback” by explaining its rise “from nearly failed state to emerging global player in less than a decade.” It is respected as “The Fashion Capital of Latin America,” “The Salsa Capital of the World,” the host of the world’s largest theater festival and the home of the world’s second largest carnival.
