Nyiragongo is associated with a formation called the East African Rift, a region in which Africa is being pulled apart by geologic forces. As the African plate is pulled apart, the crust becomes thin. The decreases pressure on the extremely hot rocks of the upper mantle, allowing them to melt. This molten rock, called magma, then rises up through the crust to form volcanoes such as Nyiragongo.
The force that is causing movement at this fault is called tectonic force. These forces are generated by the movement and interaction of the Earth's tectonic plates.

Mount Nyiragongo is located in Virunga National Park in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It is an active stratovolcano known for its lava lake and frequent eruptions.
Volcanic eruptions are almost as difficult to predict as earthquakes. Any "prediction" would be little better than throwing darts at the calendar.
Mount Nyiragongo erupted on the 21 January 2002 in the Democratic republic of Congo.
