These are the 3 possible scenarios in the activity of the Popocatépetl volcano
According to the director of Cenapred, Enrique Guevara Ortiz, in an interview with the Aristegui Noticias space, there are 3 possible scenarios in the volcanic activity of the popocatepetl in the next few hours. The first is the most favorable, where a progressive reduction in the activity of the colossus would be expected to occur, with which its crater would enter a resting process, as detailed by the expert.
The second possible scenario is that the Popocatepetl volcano continue with a constant and effusive activity that is accompanied by sporadic explosions, as has happened in recent days. The third scenario is the most severe, but also the least probable, where Don Goyo would be expected to increase its activity, which would force the authorities to modify the volcanic alert traffic light once and begin an evacuation process for the surrounding areas. .
