Question - 228

Identify this volcano. It is often listed among the seven natural wonders of the world.

Answer: This is the Paricutin volcano in Mexico, a volcano that virtually sprang up overnight in the backyard of a farmer in the village of Paricutin. It was five stories tall within a week and its eruption destroyed the village. Iam, Swapnaa, Srivats, Vetti, Rajesh and Avi got it. Well done.

Paricutin Volcano - Mexico. Possibly the youngest volcano in the world, in that its entire growth from a fissure in the ground to its current height occured in recorded history..
