No. It is a stratovolcano.
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.
