Geological Tour Around Santiago
In this tour we will analyze the rocks and geological structures that are observed when we enter the Andes mountain range from Santiago to the foot of the San José Volcano.
They will be observed: the effects of the magmatism associated to the volcanic arc, the evidences of different volcanic-sedimentary processes and the fossil evidence of life and evolution. Based on these observations, we will discuss how the geological environment varied from the Jurassic, 150 million years ago, to the present.
We will analyze the relationship between subduction, the migration of the volcanic arc, the formation of the basins and the uplift of the mountain ranges throughout the geological history.
