The CCPVR
consists of a wide variety of volcanic centers forming the 70-km long, nearly
N‑S trending chain that includes several large stratovolcanoes, minor
cinder cones, and a few silicic domes. The varied morphologic characteristics
of the volcanic structures show different degrees of erosion and indicate a
relative southward younger age of the volcanism. There are two main alignment
directions: a NE-SW trend containing the northernmost Las Lajas-Cofre de
Perote-northern La Gloria volcanoes, and a N-S trend with the La Gloria-Las
Cumbres-Citlaltépetl volcanoes.
