Beschreibung:
Volcán Pelado is a small symmetrical shield volcano in the eastern part of the Chichinautzin volcanic field that is capped by a pyroclastic cone. Formation of the volcano between about 9260 and 10,500 years ago was accompanied by pyroclastic flows that entrained pottery fragments from nearby settlements. Volcán Pelado lies 10 km south of Xitle, another cinder cone of the Chichinautzin volcanic field that erupted less than 2000 years ago.
