So, what's fascinating about this cinder volcano called Mount Paricutin?

---

There are no myths or legends about Paricutin because it is so new. Most myths were made by people in a long time ago.

Now, because of science, people know how volcanoes work so there are no myths about Paricutn; but the story behind Paricutin is fascinating.

Paricutin started as a cornfield.

A farmer named Dionisio Pulido was working on his farm when he noticed a small, warm crack in the ground.

The crack kept getting bigger and bigger with over 300 earthquakes that day.

Smoke started coming out of the ground.

A huge mountain started growing! Within 24 hours a 40 foot cinder cone volcano had risen from the ground. That cinder cone just kept growing!

It grew and grew until it reached the final height of 9,186 feet!
