The geology of the Mexican Republic / Геология Мексиканской республики

Available knowledge concerning the origin and geologic structure of Mexico is still incomplete. Each day scientific discoveries, advances in mapping, and new techniques of exploration offer more information toward the development of our understanding. Nevertheless, it is still difficult to achieve a complete description of the geologic character of the territory of the nation, as well as to work out functional models to explain the origin of its geologic structure. Along with the development of geologic studies that science has made in Mexico, there have been a few attempts to formulate general works covering the many aspects of geology that the country presents. Nevertheless, one must recognize that the lack of information about certain periods in the geological history of the national territory, and the numerous unexplored areas, have constituted some principal obstacles toward achieving a finished work of this type <...>
