The western Caribbean area primarily consists of the countries of Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Columbia and Venezuela. Mexico, and most of the volcanoes therein are located predominately within the Guerrero Block and includes the Paleogene and Neogene/Quarternary arcs. Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua are both located within the Chortis Block whereas the Nicoya Complex flanks Costa Rica on the east by the Limon Basin and on the west. Panama is also part of the Nicoya Basin, flanked on the west and on the east, flanked by the North Panama Fold Belt. Columbia, part of the Guyana Shield and lies basically in the Lianos Basin, Barinas-Apure Basin and the El Baul Swell Basin. Venezuela, also part of the Guyana Shield predominately lies within the Eastern Venezuelan Basin. Both Columbia and Venezuela form the Southern Caribbean Plate Boundary Zone.
