A yellow phase three alert level is triggered when the volcano shows &#8220;significant explosions of increasing intensity that shoot fragments (of rock) over considerable distances.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>On Saturday, the airports in Mexico City and Puebla temporarily halted flights because of ash spewed from the volcano. Mexican national Civil Defense Coordinator Laura Vel\u00e1zquez said, &#8220;There is no risk to the population at this time,&#8221; claiming that the recent activity had been superseded in the past 20 years.<\/p>\n<p>Popocatepetl, which is Aztec for &#8220;smoking mountain,&#8221; had lain dormant for decades before it awakened in 1994 spewing gas and ash as far as 16 miles away by the winds. Prior to that eruption, the last explosion occurred in 1947. In December 2000, Popocatepetl roared with the biggest eruption in 1200 years; 30,000 people had to be evacuated.<\/p>\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/one-of-the-worlds-most-dangerous-volcanoes-threatening-to-erupt\/\" title=\"Deadly volcano on brink of eruption.\">scientific advisory committee stated<\/a> that a &#8220;high-risk&#8221; zone existed within a 15-kilometer radius from the volcano&#8217;s central axis; a &#8220;medium-risk&#8221; zone existed between 30 to 60 kilometers away, and a &#8220;low-risk&#8221; zone existed between 60 to 90 kilometers away.<\/p>\n<p>The Popocatepetl volcano, reputedly 730,000 years old, is the second-highest peak in Mexico; Citlalt\u00e9petl is roughly 500 feet higher.
