Caiman

. . . . the caiman which is the earth monster not a volcano

Answer: Farmlands on the sides of volcanoes in Mexico and Central America are farmed in rows and look very much like the scored backs of the caiman (crocodiles). Meso-Americans did look to the natural elements in their lives for their imagery.

From Mexico comes this commentary: "Our links with other brother cultures will be fortified is we follow the same principles that our great-grandparents followed: respect and learn from Mother Nature." Lic. M.E.R.M.
