Answer 2

At 3760 m, Agua volcano towers more than 3500 m above the Pacific coastal plain to the south and 2000 m above the Guatemalan highlands to the north (figure 1). The volcano is within 5 to 10 kilometers (km) of Antigua, Guatemala and several other large towns situated on its northern apron. These towns have a combined population of nearly 100,000. It is within about 20 km of Escuintla (population, ca .100,000) to the south. Though the volcano has not been active in historical time [1] ((numerals in brackets refer to end notes in the report), or about the last 500 years, it has the potential to produce debris flows (watery flows of mud, rock, and debris -- also known as lahars when they occur on a volcano) that could inundate these nearby populated areas. In late October and early November 1998, torrential rains of Hurricane Mitch caused numerous slope failures in Central America, the most catastrophic of which occurred at Casita volcano, Nicaragua on October 30, 1998. At Casita, five days of heavy rain triggered a 1.6-million-cubic-meter rock and debris avalanche that generated a 2-to 4-million-cubic-meter debris flow that swept down the steep slopes of the volcano, spread out across the volcano's apron, destroyed two towns, and killed more than 2500 people [2]. The avalanche did not dam the upper drainages or impound water. Rather, it appears that the Casita debris flow evolved directly as the avalanche moved down slope [2].
