Resumen

We present a study of the impact probability of volcanic projectiles and their distribution. Leading to a relationship found between initial normally distributed conditions of an explosion projectiles and the final proposed modification for a Maxwell distribution of a number of projectiles? landing position in the horizontal plane. This approach helps determine a probabilistic risk zone of a volcanic explosion. To demonstrate the unctionality and validity of the methodology used, Popocat´epetl-specific parameters were employed.

Keywords: Ballistics and projectile trajectories, volcanic activity and risk zones, México.
