Why did Mount Nyiragongo erupt in 2002?
Nyiragongo is associated with a formation called the East African Rift, a region in which Africa is being pulled apart by geologic forces. As the African plate is pulled apart, the crust becomes thin. The decreases pressure on the extremely hot rocks of the upper mantle, allowing them to melt. This molten rock, called magma, then rises up through the crust to form volcanoes such as Nyiragongo.
