Background History!

Volcan de Tequila, also known as the Tequila Volcano, is a stratovolcano (or composite volcano) that was active approximately 200,000 years ago. It gotten it's name from the town that was located nearby: Tequila, Jalisco. Tequila, Jalisco is a town located in Mexico and just like it's name, it's commonly known for the production of that particular alcoholic beverage. Thus, that is where the volcano's name originated from.

Compared to other types of volcanoes, the Tequila Volcano lived much longer and was more active since it's a stratovolcano. There is no particular date of when exactly the volcano itself was active, but we can estimate approximately when it was active because of its volcanic field and structure. Furthermore, the Tequila Volcanoe’s volcanic field is 1600 km^3. This shows that the volcano used to be very active back then, but the volcano itself is no longer now today. However, if it were to erupt, the explosion can be very violent. Just like Mount Fuji & St. Helens, stratovolcanoes tend to be very big because they have a conduit system inside them that channels magma from deep within the Earth to the surface. These type of volcanoes also have clusters of vents, with lava breaking through walls, or issuing from fissures on the sides of the mountain which allows them to grow big & very tall.

What to do next time?

- Talk about other volcanoes that relates to the Tequila Volcano (ex; St. Helens, Fuji, etc)

- Differentiate more b/w the types of volcanoes

- Talk about the volcanic activity that occurred in the Tequila volcanic field (more depth)

- How long was it active

- Did it erupt? Chances of erupting

- Level of danger if it did erupt

Some information that I got from these references and would probably include on the Wikipedia page is "The Plug" & how they're a cluster of radio towers at the summit. I may also include information regarding why visitors tend to turn away when visiting Tequila Volcano. While looking at these references, they may also lead to other interesting facts and history regarding the Tequila Volcano.
