Nyiragongo is in Virunga National Park and is of Africa's most active volcanoes.
It lies in the volcano region of Virunga National Park, Congo (Kinshasa), near the border with Rwanda, 12 miles (19 km) north of Goma.
Nyiragongo lies. The rift valley is forming where two plates are spreading apart, with new crust being created along the rift.
It is in the Congo, not far from the border with Rwanda.
Nyiragongo is a steep-sided, active volcano.
Nyiragongo is associated with the East African Rift and is part of the Virunga Volcanic Chain.
This has caused the formation of the Great African Rift Valley - where Mt. Mount Nyiragongo has erupted about 34 times since the first recorded time in 1884. It is located in the Democratic Republic of Congo. It is found 20 km north of the town of Goma and Lake Kivu and just west of the border with the country of Rwanda. It is found on the Kivu part of the Albertine rift, the Western branch of the Great African rift valley. It is 11,385 feet (3,470 metres) high, with a main crater 1.3 miles (2 km) wide and 820 feet (250 metres) deep containing a liquid lava pool. Nyiragongo lies on a constructive plate boundary where two plates are moving apart.
Along this divergent plate boundary are volcanoes such as Mount Nyiragongo, in the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Mount Kilimanjaro, in … Some older craters on the mountain are noted for their plant life. Mt. Mount Nyiragongo is 3470m high and is an active stratovolcano in Eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (an LDC). The Nyiragongo volcano is located in the African Rift Valley, which is most definitely a CONSTRUCTIVE plate margin, despite the answer (and web-link) from Steven above.
Along the Horn of Africa, the African plate is tearing itself into what is sometimes called the Nubian plate (to the west, including most of the current African plate) and the Somali plate (to the east, including the Horn of Africa and the western Indian Ocean). Nyiragongo is the world’s largest lava lake with a diameter of 1.2 kilometers and a depth of 200m down.
Mount Nyiragongo is one of the world’s most active volcanoes with the last eruption being in 2002 but recent volcanic activity up to 2016/ 2017. Yes, Mount Nyiragongo is on a convergent, or destructive, plate boundary between the Somalian and Nubian plates.
