Description
Large-scale landslides are usually linked to fault ruptures in active tectonic settings, most of the time in step slopes landscapes. San Agustín del Maíz geothermal field is located within the Cuitzeo basin at the central sector of the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt (TMVB), where thanks to remote sensing and fieldwork were recognized five hills formed by landslides covering part of the geothermal upwelling, these landslides are made up by broken fragments of pyroclastic deposits and andesites from the surroundings which are hydrothermal altered and contain veins made of calcite, quartz, chlorite and opal crystals.
