Parícutin is 70 years old today! Go celebrate by reading its birth story. Well, part of its birth story. We’re through labor, not quite finished with delivery. I promise not to leave you in suspense for too long. You all know how this ends, at least: with a bouncing baby cinder cone, not to mention one very upset farmer and five rather distraught villages.
Geology, much like a newborn, is completely insensible of others’ needs and desires. But we deal.
Enjoy!
Oh, I like birthdays!!
Cliffhanger?? Not fair! :) (I know, I know… lots of information.) You have me hooked.
Kewl. I certainly will enjoy reading your prose on this topic, which is an awesome one, so I’m off to do it!
From malpais to milpas and back to malpais.
Ah, the circle of geology!
