The ash clouds are very dangerous and can hurt the people in Mexico very badly. In Mexico the volcano seems to be getting bigger by the years.

I believe that my volcano will be a very big problem in the future because the lava travels really fast and the ash clouds can cover the sun and the people can't get vitamin c.
