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.
Yes. Nevado Del Ruiz is a volcano known for its 1985 eruption which killed well over 20,000 people.

No. It is impossible to prevent a volcanic eruption.
The most destructive eruption of Nevado del Ruiz occurred on November 13, 1985. While relatively small, the eruption triggered mudflows that buried several towns. Worst hit was Armero, where 21,000 people died.
The eruption of 1985 produced gas and ash.
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 :/
Nevado del Ruiz is a stratovolcano, so the composition of the magma likely varies over time. The tragic eruption of 1985 involved magma of andesite or dacite composition.
