description In contrast with polygenetic volcanoes, eruptions giving birth to monogenetic volcanoes are much less frequent and thus more difficult to observe and study. Only a few events of this type have occurred worldwide in historical times. Among these, Jorullo (1759~1766), Paricutín (1943~1952), Ukinrek maar (1977), and the East–Izu activity in Japan (1930~1989) are among the events that were studied and reported according to the scientific level of each period. The first two eruptions lasted for several years and were actual births of cinder cones and large lava flows. The maar resulted from a series of phreatomagmatic explosions, with relatively small basaltic magma production, and East–Izu caused earthquake swarms intermittently since 1930 ending with a small submarine eruption in 1989, not large enough to form a scoria cone. Here, we discuss the physical processes that originated those monogenetic volcanoes, mostly from the available seismological data and other reported parameters that reveal similarities and differences among those eruptions. Notwithstanding the common features of monogenetic activity, different types of volcanoes may thus be recognized. The main common feature for all types is a deep seated primary magma source, below the crust. Depending on the ascending capacity of magma derived from the excess pressure at the source and on its buoyancy, the surface activity may range from long–duration, high magma productivity eruptions forming cinder cones and extensive lava fields, to short–duration, low productivity eruptions related to similar sources but with a lower magma ascent capacity, that tends to stall within the crust. End members of the latter type may be limited to phreatic activity related to conducted heat phenomena or to local swarm seismicity. Sharing characteristics of those volcano types, but in a different spatial scale and with a shallower magma source, we recognize another type of monogenetic volcanism, namely the parasitic cones associated to polygenetic volcanoes that seem to result from the balance between the magmatic pressure and the mechanical strength of the polygenetic volcanic edifice.

En el mundo, sólo unos pocos casos de este tipo de eventos se han registrado en tiempos históricos. Entre ellos, Jorullo (1759~1766), Paricutín (1943~1952), el maar Ukinrek (1977) y la actividad en East–Izu, Japón (1930~1989) representan algunos de los eventos que fueron reportados y estudiados de acuerdo al nivel científico de cada época. Las dos primeras erupciones formaron conos de escoria de tamaño considerable y grandes flujos de lava a lo largo de varios años de actividad, representando el nacimiento de esos volcanes. El maar se formó como consecuencia de una serie de explosiones freatomagmáticas, con escasa producción de magmas basálticos, y East–Izu fue un evento que causó enjambres sísmicos intermitentes desde 1930 y concluyó con una pequeña erupción submarina en 1989, de magnitud insuficiente para formar un cono escoriáceo. En el presente trabajo se discuten los procesos físicos que originaron esos volcanes monogenéticos, principalmente con base a los datos sísmicos disponibles y otros parámetros reportados que revelan las similitudes y diferencias entre esas erupciones. Sumadas a las similitudes que caracterizan la actividad monogenética, se distinguen diferentes tipos de volcanes. La principal característica común de todos los tipos es el origen profundo, sub–cortical, de sus fuentes magmáticas. Dependiendo de la capacidad de ascenso del magma, resultante de la sobrepresión en la fuente y en sus propiedades boyantes, la actividad eruptiva superficial puede variar desde prolongadas erupciones con alta productividad de magma formando conos cineríticos y extensos campos de lava, hasta erupciones de corta duración y baja productividad de magmas que tienden a permanecer en la corteza sin aflorar. Casos extremos de éste tipo pueden limitarse a actividad freática derivada del calor trasferido por conducción, o a enjambres sísmicos locales. Compartiendo algunas características con estos volcanes, pero en otra escala espacial y con una fuente magmática somera reconocemos otro tipo de vulcanismo monogenético, el de los conos parásitos asociados a volcanes poligenéticos que aquí se sugiere resultan del balance entre la presión magmática y la resistencia mecánica del edificio volcánico poligenético.Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México.
