It destroyed more that 5,000 homes Hope this helps! =)
Cooler weather Hope this helped! =)

The eruption of Nevado del Ruiz in November 1985 caused significant property damage, particularly in the town of Armero, Colombia. The volcanic activity triggered lahars (mudflows) that devastated the area, leading to the destruction of around 25,000 homes and significant infrastructure damage. The estimated economic losses from the disaster were around $1 billion, highlighting the catastrophic impact of the eruption on communities and property.
The exact cost of recovering from the eruption of Mount Fuji is not readily available. The expenses associated with recovery would depend on various factors such as the extent of the damage, the resources and time needed to restore affected areas, and the assistance provided by the government and other organizations.
The eruption of Nevado del Ruiz was far worse. While the eruption of Mount St. Helens was far larger, its worst effects were limited to mostly unpopulated areas, and many of the people who did live in the immediate vicinity had been evacuated beforehand. In ally, 57 people died. The eruption of Nevado del Ruiz was relatively small, but the resulting mudflows killed more than 23,000 people.
No.
No, the eruption of Nevado del Ruiz in 1985 was mainly an explosive eruption that generated pyroclastic flows and lahars by melting snow and ice on the volcano's summit. There was no significant lava eruption during this event.
Signs of Mount Ruiz erupting included increased seismic activity, such as frequent earthquakes and volcanic tremors, which indicated rising magma. Additionally, there were observable changes in the volcano’s fumaroles, with increased gas emissions and temperature fluctuations. Ash plumes and changes in the landscape, like ground deformation, also suggested an impending eruption. These signs culminated in the catastrophic eruption in 1985, which had devastating effects on nearby communities.
The largest eruption of the Ruiz volcano occurred on November 13, 1985. This eruption triggered a devastating lahars that buried the town of Armero in Colombia, resulting in the loss of thousands of lives.
