The volcanic chain of Central America, which is part of the Pacific Ring of Fire represents a large scale of danger due to stratovolcans explosives.
"This means that the internal system of these volcanoes has a magma chamber in which it stores a magma over time, and when it is full it goes out, in this sense we have volcanoes with a high explosivity ", explained the vulcanologist of the Environment Observatory of the Ministry of Environment of El Salvador, Eduardo Gutiérrez.
The tragedy provoked by the Fuego Volcano in Guatemala demonstrates the considerable danger caused by these geological structures.

This natural disaster has left hundreds of dead and thousands of people affected in areas adjacent to the eruption of this volcano.

Similarly, Monotombo in Nicaragua reactivated its volcanic activity after 100 years of inactivity, Costa Rica was also recently affected by the volcanic activity of Poás, Turrialba and Rincón de la Vieja
The craters of Central America should remain active. "The risk to communities due to the constant activity of the volcano will be a permanent situation," said Eddy Sánchez, head of the Institute of Volcanology in relation to Volcán de Fuego at Guatemala
