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.
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.
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.
How high is Mount Ruiz?
5,300 meters
What are facts about Mount Ruiz?
it is a composite(strato) volcano and it is located in central columbia

What plate boundaries was Nevada Del Ruiz?
it is on the north and south plate
How high is Mount Ruiz?
5,300 meters
Is Mount Ruiz still active?
Yes Hope this Helped! =)
What caused Nevado del Ruiz to 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 :/

Why were there more deaths in Nevada del Ruiz than in Mount St Helens?
There were two main reasons. First, with Mount St Helens, the people were given adequate warning while they were not with Nevado del Ruiz. Second, when Nevado del Ruiz erupted, several towns were in the paths of major lahars.
How many people died in the Mount Ruiz eruption in 1985?
1,800 Hope this helped. =)
What are some famous volcano eruptions?
They include: Mount Vesuvius Krakatoa Mount St. Helens Mount Tamboa Mauna Loa Eyjafjallajokull Mount Pelee Thera Nevado del Ruiz Mount Pinatubo
