It is the subduction zone between the Cocos and North American plates.
The plates that formed the Colima volcano in Mexico are part of the Pacific Plate subducting beneath the North American Plate. This subduction process creates friction and melting in the Earth's mantle, leading to the formation of magma that fuels volcanic activity at Colima.
It is located on the North American tectonic plate. In fact all of Mexico, with the exception of the Baja California peninsula, lies on such plate.

The Colima volcano was formed due to the subduction of the Cocos tectonic plate beneath the North American plate. This subduction has led to the melting of the mantle and the formation of magma that eventually rises to the surface, resulting in the volcanic activity seen at Colima volcano.
It is the result of the Cocos Plate subduction under the North American Plate.
A volcano is not a type of fault. Volcanoes can be found at convergent and divergent plate boundaries and away from plate boundaries at hot spots.
Yes.
A volcano is not a type of fault. Volcanoes can be found at convergent and divergent plate boundaries and away from plate boundaries at hot spots.
Colima Volcano is primarily formed at a convergent plate boundary, where the Cocos Plate subducts beneath the North American Plate. This subduction process results in volcanic activity as magma is generated from the melting of the subducted plate. Additionally, the region is influenced by a complex tectonic setting involving the interaction of multiple plates, contributing to its volcanic characteristics.
