Best Answer

The Paricutin volcano began as a series of earthquakes in the Mexican state of Michoacán in 1943. A fissure opened up in a farmer's cornfield, which soon grew into the large volcano as it continued to erupt and spew ash and stone. It erupted off and on over the next eight years, finally reaching a height of 1,391 feet in 1952. It has remained dormant ever since.
