The Nevado del Ruiz volcano is located on a destructive plate boundary whereby the dense, oceanic Nazca plate is being subducted under the less dense, continental South American plate. The melted rock from the Oceanic plate rises to the surface, the pressure builds until the magma erupts from the volcano. It is a composite or strato volcano meaning it is made up of layers of solidified lava and pyroclasic material.
Nevado means "snowy", and , and del Ruiz means of Ruiz. This refers to the glacies topping the volcano. Ruiz is a surname in Spanish and so the mountain may be named after a person.
It was named after a boy named Alex Ruiz a boy who survived the first eruption in 6660 B.C.
