Answer 1

Look, you could expand your paper by explaining several key things. Although, I have no idea, what questions you had to answer...so, my list may be redundant and unuseful to you.

-expand on the definition of a volcano--was Paricutin a volcano that was formed by divergent or convergent tectonic plates, was it caused by a hotspot?
-what is its shape?
-what is its lava composition?
-how is the erupted material described as, such as lava composition and texture?
-what is its current activity and how old is it?
-since Paricutin is considered (on many lists--not all) to be a Seventh Wonder of the World, why is it considered so and why is it peculiar to certain lists and not others?
-what is the definition of pyroclastic and what significance does this have to Paricutin? Is this common among vocanos?
-Is Paricutin a freak addition to the geographical location to where it resides or are there other volcanos there? How old is Paricutin in regard to others in its vacinity if this is the case?
-There were villages that were near the volcano, how many total deaths did it claim during the years of its eruption?
-There were people that died as a result of "lightening strikes" due to the eruption, how many died, and what does lightening and volcanic eruptions have to do with each other?
-What is the definition of monogenetic? Why is Paricutin considered a monogenetic volcano? Is it due to its shape?

Good luck!
