Is the santa ana volcano from el salvador active or historic???


help plz!!!

The Santa Ana volcano is an active volcano. It last erupted in 1770, but has had continuous volcanic activity since. Activity increased in 1992 and has continued in one form or another.

El Salvador has 23 volcanoes clasified as active and many more dormant, inactive or extinct (177 to be exact - "Catalogue of Active Volcanoes of the World", Bohnenberger, 1973). 90% of the country was formed by volcanic materials. All of this in a country the size of the state of Massachusets. This is why El Salvador is called the Land of the Volcanoes.

the 23 active volcanoes:
Santa Ana
Izalco
San Marcelino
San Salvador
El Playon
Islas Quemadas
Ilopango
Conchaguita
Coatepeque
San Vicente
Tecapa
San Miguel
Cochagua
Cuyanausul
Laguna Seca El Pacayal
Limbo
Cerro Las Ranas
Laguna Verde
Chingo
Cerro de Las Ninfas
Cerro Los Naranjos
Cerro Chambala
Usulutan
Cerro El Taburete

Active
I was in Santa Ana Oct. 05 when it erupted.
Went to go see how some friends in Los Planes were and a mudsilde from the event washed out 600 feet of the road.
It rained lots that month.
