I don't know Stratovolcano
No, Nevado del Ruiz is not a cinder cone volcano. It is a stratovolcano, which is a large, steep-sided volcano built up of many layers of hardened lava, tephra, pumice, and volcanic ash.
The Nevado de Ruiz is 5321 meters above sea level according to wikipedia.
Nevado del Ruiz is located in a subduction zone, where the Nazca Plate is being forced beneath the South American Plate. This type of plate boundary is characterized by volcanic activity and earthquakes due to the movement of tectonic plates. The subduction process contributes to the formation of the Andes mountain range and the volcanic activity associated with Nevado del Ruiz.
