Volcanic activity.
Volcanic activity.
This soil was created by volcanic eruptions over the centuries and allows for productive farming.
There are plenty of such regions, but the largest by far is the Yucatan Peninsula.
In the Central Mexican Plateau, where volcanic soil and temperate climate allow better yields.
Volcanic activity. Both western Mexico and most of Central America lie on the Pacific Ring of Fire.

Volcanic soil is formed from volcanic ash and lava, which are rich in minerals and nutrients. This makes volcanic soil fertile and ideal for agriculture. Regular soil, on the other hand, can vary greatly in composition and fertility depending on factors like weathering, organic matter content, and parent material.
Volcano soil, also known as volcanic soil or ash soil, typically contains high levels of minerals such as potassium, phosphorus, and nitrogen. These minerals are released during volcanic eruptions and contribute to the fertility of the soil, making it ideal for supporting plant growth. Additionally, volcanic soil may also contain small fragments of volcanic rock and minerals.
