Abstract

A photrogrammetric analysis of the Ojo Salado and Seca canyons of Citlaltepetl Volcano, in the area of influence of the towns of Cuiyachapa and Tetelcingo, in the State of Veracruz is presented. The local acceleration of gravity, atmospheric pressure and slope for each canyon was calculated, in order to model the structural geomorphology of the study area. By micrometer measurements using stereoscopic development it could be inferred that the analyzed canyons, present a fundamental movement parallel to dip (inclination) of the surface referred to as fault with vertical displacement. This paper highlights the importance of the application of photogrammetric methods in Earth Sciences to examine two canyons in the Citlaltépetl Volcano, passing next to the towns of Cuiyachapa and Tetelcingo, acceleration of gravity, pressure and 2D and 3D modeling, data correlating with photogeomorphological models to determine scales of map and the terrain, and the unevenness of them using footholds. The purpose of this work is to encourage the application of photogrammetry in the area of Earth Sciences, specifically geomorphological development.
