Ecuador's Tungurahua Volcano erupted Saturday, sending ash and lava spewing nearly a mile into the sky. Click here to read CNN's report! Tungurahua is a steep-sided stratovolcano (5,023 meters) that towers 3 kilometers above its northern base. Historical eruptions have originated from the summit crater and have included strong explosions and sometimes lava flows, lahars, and pyroclastic flows that reached populated areas at the volcano's base. The volcano's complex historical record includes sudden, violent eruptions.
