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.
