Volcanic activity around El Jorullo, a cinder cone volcano in Michoacán, central Mexico, on the southwest slope of the central plateau in an area known as the Michoacán-Guanajuato volcanic field. The lava from the vents of El Jorullo cover nine square km around the volcano. Later eruptions produced lavas that had higher silica contents making them thicker than the earlier basalts and basaltic andesite lavas.
