Guatemala, Mexico: Guatemala. Eastward continuations of the Motogua and Polochic faults in the transform plate boundary, as well as the volcanoes of the convergent boundary are well displayed here. Lake Atitlan in mid-frame occupies the center of a caldera complex; Santiago Atitlan (11,804 ft) is the larger and more easterly of the two volcanoes forming the southern shore of the lake. Guatemala City is within a north-trending graben -- one of several formed by stretching of the crust of the Caribbean plate as it is pulled away to the east.
