Volcanoes Erupt in Central America

Two volcanoes have erupted in Central America over the last week. Central America is known as a hazard hotspot and regularly suffers from earthquakes, volcanoes, hurricanes, flooding and landslides. The latest volcanoes have erupted in Guatemala and Nicaragua. In Guatemala, Fuego situated near the historical tourist town of Antigua erupted sending lava down its sides and rocks up to 1km into the air. The biggest eruption since 1999 has forced thousands of residents to leave their homes. In Nicaragua the San Cristobal Volcano erupted on Sunday sending ash and debris 4km into the air. So far 3,000 people have been evacuated from Nicaragua's tallest mountains and one of its most active volcanoes.
