How did the biggest volcano in Mexico form?

rocky


Hi ,

I do not know which is the biggest . . but the tallest is Popocatepetl, which is a stratovolcano. That means it can erupt either lava flows or volcanic ash. Popocatepetl formed as a result of the subduction of the ocean crust beneath the continental crust of Mexico.

Sincerely,
John Dvorak
