** Popocatepetl **

** My Volcano is Popocatepetl, it is in Mexico, it has been quite active since 2004 but hasn't have very many huge eruptions. But it does release gas very often. ** =====

** Popocatepetl is a stratovolcano, a lot like Mt. Fuji in Japan. This means that it has lava but it is very thick and overflows on the sides and piles up, there is also a lot of ash and debris that comes out even if there hasn't been an explosion. The lava that comes out of this volcano is mostly **** dacite and basaltic andesite. ** =====
