Earlier information
Background:
Volcán Popocatépetl, whose identify is the Aztec phrase for smoking mountain, towers to 5426 m 70 km SE of Mexico Metropolis to kind North America’s 2nd-highest volcano. The glacier-clad stratovolcano accommodates a steep-walled, 250-450 m deep crater. The commonly symmetrical volcano is modified by the sharp-peaked Ventorrillo on the NW, a remnant of an earlier volcano.
No less than three earlier main cones had been destroyed by gravitational failure throughout the Pleistocene, producing large debris-avalanche deposits overlaying broad areas south of the volcano. The trendy volcano was constructed to the south of the late-Pleistocene to Holocene El Fraile cone. Three main plinian eruptions, the latest of which came about about 800 AD, have occurred from Popocatépetl because the mid Holocene, accompanied by pyroclastic flows and voluminous lahars that swept basins under the volcano. Frequent historic eruptions, first recorded in Aztec codices, have occurred since precolumbian time.
