Mexico’s Popocatepetl volcano has experienced increased volcanic activity since last Monday, which has generated 366 earthquakes, including one that registered a magnitude of 3 on Tuesday.
Mexico’s National Center for Disaster Prevention on Wednesday said an eruption at the Popocatépetl volcano caused a 3-magnitude earthquake.
The temblor occurred at 1:11 p.m. Tuesday. The epicenter was in the southeast section of the volcano.
These earthquakes are part of a swarm or train of volcano tectonic earthquakes that began last Monday. At the time of this report there have been counted 366 of these earthquakes.

percent more than those who performed Smith equipment squats.
