Abstract
The structural evolution of S-Central Mexico during Neogene and Quaternary times clearly reveals the overlap of several tectonic phases characterized by brittle deformations. Structural lineaments linked with the southern prosecution of the Basin and Range Province were recognized, together with lineaments connected to the opening of the Gulf of California and to the convergence between the Cocos and the North-American Plates. Discusses the morphological and structural analyses showing the presence of three main sectors. -from Authors
