Mexico's Popocatepetl volcano rumbled to life again this week, belching out towering clouds of ash that forced 11 villages to cancel school sessions. 9News

rumbled to life again this week, belching out towering clouds of ash that forced 11 villages to cancel school sessions.

The volcano is 72 kilometres southeast of Mexico City, but looms much closer to the eastern fringes of the metropolitan area of 22 million people. Unlike earthquakes, warning times can be longer for the volcano and in general the peak is more predictable. The forces inside are so great that they can temporarily deform the peak, so cameras and sensors must monitor the very shape of the volcano.
