Popocatepetl and Iztaccihuatl and a pair of mountains in mexico. Iztaccihuatl is an active volcano and Iztaccihuatl is a flat mountain. The ancient myth behind these two is that Popocatepetl and Iztaccihuatl were gods and lovers. Then one day Princess Iztaccihuatl heard that Popocatepetl had died. So she killed herself. Then Popocatepetl found her dead body and was very enraged and blew up like the volcano he is today.

I used models to demonstrate the explosion of Popocatepetl to. My group is building a volcano model popocatepetl. This helps me closer to mastery because now I understand more about building models.

In the myth, when someone dies you get angry. This is cause and effect. Also, when subduction occurs, it creates volcanoes. Another thing is that in ancient culture, if people don't understand something (like volcanoes) they make a myth explaining the story behind it. This can help people be less afraid because people are afraid of what they don't understand.
