Resumen
El trabajo de titulación se presenta con el nombre de Cartografía de zonas de alteración hidrotermal en el área del cerro Zaruma Urcu en el cantón Zaruma. Provincia El Oro, se ha desarrollado con el fin de acceder al título de Ingeniera Geóloga.
El trabajo tuvo como principal objetivo realizar un mapa de las alteraciones hidrotermales presentes en el área del cerro Zaruma Urcu y sus alrededores.
La metodología se dividió en cuatro etapas, primero recopilación de toda la información bibliográfica posible, segundo la etapa de campo donde se ejecutó el mapeo geológico acompañado por la toma de muestras de cada punto de observación y su respectiva descripción macroscópica, la tercera etapa análisis de laboratorio de las muestras tomadas en cada punto de observación con el uso del Terraspec y se finalizó con el procesamiento de datos. Una vez finalizados los trabajos se pudo comprobar que el área de estudio presenta una intensa alteración. En las zonas más altas se encuentra la silicificación con fases de argílica avanzada, por lo que se determinó y confirmó que los centros de silicificación están en lo más alto del cerro y en sus alrededores se encuentra la alteración argílica o argílica intermedia, también existe en menor cantidad la propilítica y sericítica o cuarzo- sericita.
The titling is presented under the name of Cartography of hydrothermal alteration zones in the area of the Zaruma Urcu hill in the Zaruma canton. El Oro province has been developed in order to access the title of Geological Engineer. The main objective of the work was to make a map of the hydrothermal alterations present in the area of the Zaruma Urcu hill and its surroundings. The methodology was divided into four stages, first compilation of all possible bibliographic information, second the field stage where the geological mapping was carried out accompanied y the taking of samples from each observation point and their respective macroscopic description, the third stage analysis of laboratory of the samples taken at each observation point with the use of Terraspec and the data processing was completed Once the work was finished, it was possible to verify that the study area presents an intense alteration. In the highest areas there is silicification with advanced argilic phrases, for which it was determined and confirmed that the silicification centers are at the top of the hill and in its surroundings there is the argilic or intermediate argilic alteration, it also exists in less propylitic and sericitic or quartz-sericite.
