Paricutin's most recent eruption was from 1943-1952.
Paricutin is a cinder cone, which means that it only erupts once. It erupted in 1943 and finally ended in 1952, nine years later.
It is an explosive eruption technically a strombolian eruption
The Paricutin eruption lasted for about 9 years, from 1943 to 1952.
Paricutin is in the dormant stage. It erupted in 1943 and had several eruptions over the next 9 years. The last eruption was in 1952. It is now dormant.
The eruption of Paricutin in Mexico lasted from 1943 to 1952, making it one of the most well-documented eruptions in history. It started with a fissure opening in a cornfield and quickly grew into a volcanic cone that eventually reached a height of 1,391 feet (424 meters).
Before Paricutin erupted in 1943, the weather in the area was reported to be normal for that region, with no unusual or extreme weather events recorded. The eruption itself was sudden and unexpected, starting on February 20th.
Mount Paricutin is called a Strombolian eruption, meaning that it only has one eruption. Which already happened in 1943. So Mount Paricutin will not erupt no longer.
it was in february of 1952

It is an explosive eruption technically a strombolian eruption
No. Paricutin belongs to a variety of cinder cone where after a brief period of activity, eruptions cease permanently.
The Paricutin eruption lasted for about 9 years, from 1943 to 1952.
Besides the eruption that created it, it has only erupted twice, and probably will never erupt again.

February 1943. The eruption lasted until february 1952. :-)
cinder cone building and basaltic lava
There was 500 people before the eruption. Now there is about 2000-300.
This is basaltic lava which came from a single vent known as a Strombolian eruption. This fascinating event took place in Mexico in 1943. It gave Scientists the chance to follow the birth and death of a Volcano for probably the first time ever . The Paricutin volcano spouted its last farewell in 1952.
