What are the names of four tectonic plates located near the Nevado del Ruiz volcano?
Nevado del Ruiz is on the South American Plate and is the result of the Nazca plate subducting under it. The Cocos and Caribbean plates are not far away.
How was the Nevado del Ruiz created?
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.
What plates are causing the nevado del ruiz volcano to form?
The nevado del ruiz is located on a convergent plate boundary, this is where a continental and oceanic crust collide head on and the oceanic crust (the densest) is driven under the continental and melts in the mantle, the melted plate then is pressured back up through the continental plate and forms volcanoes. fold mountains will be found here too.
Is sakurajima a hot spot?
No. Sakurajima is a volcano associated with a convergent plate boundary.
What type of tectonic plate boundary is a strato-volcano on?
Most calderas are associated with subduction zones, a kind of convergent plate boundary. However, a few calderas, such as the ones at Yellowstone, are associated with hot spots rather than plate boundaries.

What plate boundary is associated with volcano Yellowstone caldera?
The Yellowstone caldera is associated with a hot spot, not a plate boundary.
What plate boundaries are associated with Sarychev Peak volcano?
Convergent

What plate interaction is a hot spot volcano?
Hot spot volcanoes are not associated with plate interactions.
Is sakurajima a hot spot?
No. Sakurajima is a volcano associated with a convergent plate boundary.
Is a volcano a convergent boundary?
No. A volcano is not a plate boundary. Most volcanoes on land are associated with convergent boundaries, but many are associated with divergent boundaries and others with hot spots.

Is Yellowstone on a convergent or divergent boundery?
Neither. The Yellowstone volcano is associated with a hot spot, not a plate bounndary.
Why did Nevado del Ruiz erupt?
From all the research I've done I have figured out that it had something to do with the shifting of the tectonic plate it sits on but I'm afraid that's about as detailed as it gets :/
Is mount adatara a plate boundary or a hotspot?
Mount Adatara is associated with a convergent plate boundary, as are all of Japan's volcanoes.
