The creation of the Paricutin Volcano was on the afternoon of February 20, 1943. Dionisio Pulido, a farmer in the Mexican state of Michoacun, was on his field when the ground near by opened in a fissure (a narrow opening produced by cleavage or separation of two parts) 150 feet long. Volcanoes are commonplace around the world, but the Paricutin Volcano grew out of the blue instantly, which is very rare. Over time only two new volcanoes have appeared in North America. The volcano is named after the village it destroyed over time.
