Cotopaxi is one of the highest active volcanoes in the world, standing at an elevation of 5,897 meters (19,347 feet) above sea level.
Mount Cotopaxi in Ecuador is associated with a convergent plate boundary, where the Nazca Plate is subducting beneath the South American Plate. This tectonic interaction results in volcanic activity, as the subduction leads to melting of the mantle and the formation of magma. The resulting volcanic activity contributes to the formation of the Andes mountain range and the occurrence of eruptions at Cotopaxi.
Cotopaxi Province's population is 406,798.
