| Sorry,
that's not Popocatépetl. The volcano you chose is on a divergent margin, where "steep-sided" stratovolcanoes are not common. Popocatépetl's name, an Aztec word meaning "smoking mountain," suggests that it can be found in the Americas. Popocatépetl is starred on the map below. It's a stratovolcano on a convergent margin, 55 kilometers from Mexico City. |
