	Vic Camp - the eruption of Paricutin, Mexico
		The most recent, detailed description of this classic eruption is in the book "Paricutin: the volcano born in a Mexican cornfield" published in 1993 and edited by Jim Luhr and Tom Simkin of the Smithsonian Institution.
		Three weeks before the eruption, the people near Paricutin village heard the rumbling noises that resembled thunder, yet they were confused because the skies were clear of clouds.
		The Paricutin eruption was unusually long for a strombolian eruption, with several eruptive phases occurring over a 9-year period.

	Science Fair Topic - Vulcanology
		The type of eruption which happened at Paricutin is called a Strombolian eruption, which means it gushed basaltic lava, and exploded from a single vent.
		Paricutin is situated about 200 miles west of Mexico City, in the state of Michoacán, Mexico.
		The Paricutin is part of the Volcanic Axis, a.k.a., "The Transversal", a 700 mile line of volcanoes that extends across southern Mexico in an east-west direction.

	The birth and death of a volcano
		Paricutin Volcano lurks on the horizon near Uruapan, west of Mexico City.
		In fact, Paricutin is part of a 40,000 square-kilometer field containing almost 1,000 volcanoes in Guanajuato and Michoacoan states -- one of the largest such areas in the world.
		Paricutin proved a disaster for the area: 25 square kilometers, including two villages, were covered with lava, and the surroundings were paved with ash so thick that it killed the forests.

	Destination: The Natural Wonders of the World
		Paricutin exploded out of a Mexican cornfield about 200 miles (322 kilometers) west of Mexico City in early 1943, giving the modern world its first opportunity to witness the birth of a volcano.
		Within two years, its slow-moving lava flows buried most of the town of Paricutin and partially buried its neighbor, San Juan Parangricutiro.
		By the time the eruption ended in a blaze of violent activity in 1952, Paricutin's cinder cone added another 290 feet (88 meters).

		Paricutin is a large scoria cone located in the Michoacan-Guanajuato volcanic field 200 miles west of Mexico City.
		The Paricutin eruption left behind large quantities of basaltic lava flows and fall deposits.
		Some of the fall deposit regions are questionable, yet the supervised classification generally fits the data from the surficial map of the Paricutin region.

		Six hundred volcanoes comparable to Paricutin could account for the present oceans in approximately 0.5 billion years.
		Since volcanic activity presumably was much greater during early earth history than at present, creationists argue that the age of the oceans would appear to be considerably less than 0.5 billion years.
