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.
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.
