The eruptions ended in 1952, leaving a final scoria cone with a height of 424 meters from the valley floor. [9] [11] The eruption destroyed or heavily damaged a 233 km 2 area, [7] and almost all of the vegetation within several kilometers of the crater was destroyed. [9] The volcano spread lava over 26 km 2, with 52 km 2 covered in volcanic ...
In 1952 the eruption ended and Parícutin went quiet, attaining a final height of 424 m (1,391 ft) from the cornfield where it began. Like most cinder cones , Parícutin is believed to be a monogenetic volcano , which means that once it has finished erupting, it will never erupt again.
The most famous cinder cone, Paricutin, grew out of a corn field in Mexico in 1943 from a new vent. [3] Eruptions continued for nine years, built the cone to a height of 424 meters (1,391 ft), and produced lava flows that covered 25 km 2 (9.7 sq mi). [3] The Earth's most historically active cinder cone is Cerro Negro in Nicaragua. [3]
An eruption on 18 September 1952 killed 31 researchers and crewmen aboard the Maritime Safety Agency survey ship No.5 Kaiyo-Maru.

Monogenetic volcanic fields can provide snapshots of the underlying region beneath the surface, and may be useful in studying the generation of magma and the composition of the mantle since the single eruption produced would match that of the chamber from which it erupted. [3]

This mountain range is marked by appearance of many volcanoes, active, dormant, and extinct alike. This system is subdivided into regions such as the Sierra de Tancítaro, Sierra de Periban, Sierra de San Angel and others. The best-known volcano in this region is the Paricutín volcano.
