Scientific paper

A procedure is described which enables us to obtain estimates of some physical and chemical characteristics of sub-surface magma chambers. This is applied to three geothermal areas of the Mexican Volcanic Belt (MVB) in central Mexico. The approximate volumes estimated for the underlying chemically and thermally zoned magma chambers are: 1500 km3 for Los Humeros, 600 km3 for La Primavera, and 400 km3 for Los Azufres. These estimates will have to be modified as more geological-geochemical data become available.
