How did nevado del ruiz colombia form?
Nevado del Ruiz formed in association with a subduction zone, where the Nazca plate, composed of oceanic crust, slides under the South American Plate, composed of continental crust. The subducting Nazca Plate dakes some water and other "volatile" substances with it. This lowers the melting point of the superheated rocks of Earth's mantle, causing some molten rock, called magma, to rise through the crust of the overriding South American Plate. This magma is released to the survace via volcanoes, one of which is Nevado del Ruiz. Over many thousands of years the ash and lava flows produced by the volcano have piled up to form a mountain.
